Of course, doesn't the Geneva Convention also prohibit cutting off the heads of prisoners, as well as using film of prisoners being tortured and murdered for propaganda purposes?

Does the Geneva Convention apply to out of uniform combatants?

Yeah, but I think the Koran specifically mentions that they are okay. And you get bonus virgins in paradise.

I don't think the psycho murderers that pass themselves off as jihadis will be sitting down to sign the Geneva Convention anytime soon.

It also says that if your opponent won't follow the rules, you don't need to either.
