Seriously, I don't know there is any group that he doesn't hate except for a very small number of white, Christian people. If he posted a real photo of ISIS hurting Muslims or a Yazidi then he might risk showing compassion for someone who is not within his particular racial or religious group.
All the more reason for a fake picture. Most of the actual victims are not very white.
But also the image has a prominent cross in it, and that is unlikely to be the case in a real news picture (not to mention the fact that the picture does not employ a method that seems to actually be used for their executions).
In other words, everyone who has any sense at all and knows anything about what is really going on, should be suspicious of the picture and doubt its authenticity. Even before one finds the movie from which the image is taken and conclusively proves it to be a fake.
But religious fanatics are not known for being good at distinguishing between truth and falsehood, so the true believers are ready to be suckered by such fakery.
Edited to add:
But one can also see, from reading the replies at the Facebook page to which you provided a link, when it being a fake is pointed out, the believers don't seem to care about the truth:

Actually, it does, Kevin. The people making this are trying to shock you and claim this is the same person. It devalues the actual atrocity of what they're actually doing. People stop trusting what they see and will not respond to the real atrocities.

We all know what they are capable of, why make shit up? People who make the shit up are sick too, just in another way. Still demented.

We see in the replies an indifference to the truth, which further explains how lies are so easily spread by religionists.
