Editing Beheading video

{{Mature}}

A '''beheading video''' is a type of [[propaganda]] video in which hostages are graphically decapitated. This is a common practice of [[Militant Islam|militant Islamist]] organizations to intimidate their enemies. They are also made by [[Mexican drug cartels]] for similar purposes. Such videos are often uploaded to websites like Liveleak, which have lax policies compared to more mainstream sites like YouTube.

[[The Islamic State]] is perhaps the most well-known for their use of beheading videos, so much so that other radical Islamic organizations have denounced the practice.
