BEIJING – A man in China who jokingly said he would join the Islamic State has been sentenced to 9 months in prison, state media reported on Monday.

Chinese authorities monitoring online activity arrested Zhang Qiang, 31, sentenced him to 9 months in prison and fined him $150, according to a report in Workers’ Daily. He had written the joke on WeChat, China’s social media and texting application.

Zhang was charged with “inciting terrorism and extremism.”

According to authorities, the defendant changed his profile picture to a photograph of Osama bin Laden, the former leader of al-Qaeda. In chat rooms, he would text, “Look now, the big guy is here.”

He would also urge other chat room participants to “enlist together with the Islamic State.”

A month after he made the statements, the Changping District Security Bureau in the city of Beijing arrested Zhang and charged him with inciting terrorism.

Police searched Zhang’s smartphone and computer, but did not find other articles related to “terrorism,” according to the report.

Many of the social media users in China have said the sentence is “too heavy.”

China is tightening regulations against social media applications and messenger services. Beginning in October, service providers are required to verify the identity of online users and retain chatting room records for at least six months.

The Chinese Communist Party has also asked all identities be verified for users making any comments online.

Good job, if such terrorist admirers were being tolerate today, chances are they will became terrorists one day
Example will be my hometown HK, freedom and free speech has became the invincible protection shield of the out laws, how many could have guess Domestic helpers became "ISIS part time recruiters"?
I'm not sure if this is the legit picture, however this incidence is real happened in Hong Kong

Just like how swatters or pranksters think it's funny to report a fake emergency or post on social media on how they are going to shoot up a school for the lolz... These people got exactly what was coming for them.

jail, and then respect his wish, sending him to ISIS.
Bright idea. Then better shorten his jail time and dispatch him right immediately to the remaining IS nests in the Syria.... while the Russian forces are still bombing them out to the heaven :rofl::D:P will love to see all who aspire to join the dark force be sent there soon... they all should have their last flare party there while it lasts and have their dreams come true seeing the many beautiful angels in heaven...
