Abstract

The beheading of Western civilians is the cocaine of global jihadist warfare. The executions don't just inflict death and terror on its victims—they radiate a potency that excites and galvanizes not only the fanatics who engage in it but also the “wannabes” outside their ranks who are awed by the spectacle of jihadist bloodletting.
