Even in self defence beheading someone is barbaric. Self defence is exactly what the name implies, DEFENCE. Beheading someone is not an act of defence, no matter how you want to dress it.
When you said "Beheading is not an acceptable action in Islam" I thought hmmm, that sounds reasonable.
Then you said "except"
Damn. Got my hopes up.
