The death penalty is abhorrant regardless of the specific method used for the actual execution. Beheading is no more "backwards" than lethal injection, gas, or the electric chair.

The difference is "civilized countries" don't excute people for missing their morning prayers or whatever stupid reasons they come up with, and secondly you don't see many American executioners interviewed on TV like they're pop stars.
