The Islamic State is calling for retaliation using viral image of Muslim man beaten up in Delhi riots

A viral image of a Muslim man being beaten up by a mob during the communal riots in Northeast Delhi has been shared by the ISIS, calling for retaliatory action in ‘Wilayat al-Hind’, which is the terror group’s “province” in India.

The man in the viral picture, who was assaulted by the mob, was identified as Mohammad Zubair. He was on his way home from a mosque Monday when he was confronted by a large group of men armed with lathis and iron rods.

In an interview with The Indian Express, Zubair said that he could not bear to see the picture, because when he saw it, his legs shivered with pain. Zubair claimed the mob hurled communal slurs at him and he was beaten until he went unconscious. The riots erupted Sunday and continued for the next two days. The death toll in the violence has climbed to 39.
