In light of recent (and deeply disturbing) news stories involving the decapitation of U.S. journalists by ISIL militants I've decided to focus this episode on the question of what the Koran has to say regarding beheading. I also veer off to explore Jewish/Muslim relations throughout the centuries.
As always, thanks for listening.
