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.
