Absolutely, actions directly or indirectly portraying this barbarous act should be critiqued.
A BBC cartoon featuring a toast soldier performing an Islamic State-style beheading of an egg (above) has been criticised by a mother for promoting 'extreme violence'.
The short episode of OOglies on CBBC also shows another soldier smeared in strawberry jam after being 'shot', before it throws a grape grenade back towards its enemy.
The clip has been criticised by mother Angela Halliwell, 35, of Tooting, South London, who has complained to Ofcom and said: 'Kids could think extreme violence like beheading is normal.'
A BBC spokesman said that it has no plans to remove the episode from the CBBC website. The one-minute clip was first shown in April 2012 but is still available on the iPlayer.
