Maybe you read a bad translation as Quran is mostly very humanist. If you have a question from any part of Quran, I like to help.

"Qur?an 8:39 ?So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world)." Do muslims ignore this instruction?

Sursh 23. 1. The believers must (eventually) win through,- 2. Those who humble themselves in their prayers; 3. Who avoid vain talk; 4. Who are active in deeds of charity; 5. Who abstain from sex, 6. Except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or concubines whom their right hands possess,- for (in their case) they are free from blame, The Quran acknowledges polygamy and concubinage. Personally I believe polygamy has fulfilled its usefullness long time ago.

The translation you refer to is a very bad one. Here is much better translation. 8.39. And fight them on until there is no more Fitna (tumult or oppression), and there prevail justice and faith in Allah altogether and everywhere; but if they cease, verily Allah doth see all that they do. From Wikipedia "Fitna (فتنة) is an Arabic word, generally regarded as very difficult to translate. It is often used to refer to civil war, disagreement and division within Islam and specifically alludes to a time involving trials of faith, similar to the Tribulation in Christian eschatology. The word also implies meanings including secession, upheaval and anarchy." And Alah means the God. Again from Wikipedia. <> According to Islam all Christians and Jews are also believers of Allah (the God).

From Wikipedia: Although, outside the Arab world, use of the word Allâh is most often associated with Islam, it is not exclusive to that faith; Arab Christians and various Arabic-speaking Jews (including the Teimanim, several Mizraḥi communities and some Sephardim) also use it to refer to the monotheist deity. Arabic translations of the Bible also employ it, as do Roman Catholics in Malta (who pronounce it as "Alla"), Christians in Indonesia, who say "Allah Bapa" (God the Father) and Christians in the Middle East who use the Aramaic "Allâha". Islamic use of "Allâh" From the point of view of traditional Islamic theology, Allâh is the most precious name of God because it is not a descriptive name like other ninety-nine names of God, but the name of God's own presence. Muslims believe that the name of Allah had existed before the time of Adam. It is the same God worshipped by Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad and other prophets of Islam. In Islam, there is only one God and Muhammad is the last messenger.

So beheading is OK for Treason. Against who, what?

Treason against the state especially during war time. This is generally what is meant by the word "fitna".
