Islamic State (IS) has used an image of the recent Delhi riots, turning it into a poster inciting Muslims to unite and join their Jihadist cause.
According to the US-based SITE Intelligence group, that keeps an eye on the activities of global terror organisations, the call has been given by an Indian subcontinent focused IS-aligned media unit.
The poster image used by them was originally clicked by Reuters photographer with the caption ‘A Muslim man is being beaten by pro-CAA supporters in Delhi.’
The image has also become the face of the Delhi riots that started Sunday (23 February) night.
Unsurprisingly, the viral image of a Muslim man being beaten by a Hindu mob in Delhi has now been repurposed by ISIS, in a poster justifying retaliatory violence in “Wilayat al-Hind,” the Caliphate’s “Indian Province.” pic.twitter.com/Cw5EzAvmE5
