Please don't conflate Al Qaeda or the insurgents with Islam in general. Islam that actually follows the Qu'ran has as much to do with Al Qaeda as Christianity had to do with Waco.
Not all Muslims follow, advocate or even like Sharia law.
Now, as for the beheading, the reason it's an insult is that it obviously shows no one even tried to give the man a dignified death. Don't you think Americans would take it differently whether I killed one or their soldiers in a gunfight or whether I cut open his corpse and used it as a toilet afterwards?
