The image portrays an armed Jundallah fighter against a green, mountainous background. In this frequently reproduced image, the fighter holds an AK-47 and a large machete or knife bearing a religious inscription (likely takbir). The inclusion of the machete is likely to suggest intimidation and slaughter of the jihadists’ enemies. The image was posted in an article entitled جهاد و مجاهدان در قرآن (“jihad and mujahids in the Qur’an”).

Visual Themes
Images of mountains are a common motif in jihadi visual propaganda and may allude to regions with completed or ongoing operations, such as Afghanistan, Chechnya and Kashmir. More generally, however, mountains evoke divine omnipotence, eternity and grandeur.
