Related comments about kidnapping and Islam, from Sadr (source-Fox):
Also, firebrand Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who led an uprising against U.S. forces, condemned militants who have beheaded foreigners in recent months — two days after a decapitated body was found on the banks of the Tigris, accompanied by a severed head in a bag.

"Anybody doing this is a criminal and we will punish him according to Islamic law," al-Sadr said.


Which would mean...beheading?
