A Sydney man is being investigated after allegedly calling for the murder of "infidels" and posting photos of guns on Facebook.

A man, using the name Abu Zakariyah, posted a photo of ISIL magazine Dabiq and an AK-47 rifle on Sunday, The Daily Telegraph reports.

The post was published the same day a 16-year-old Auburn teen was arrested for allegedly trying to buy a gun and carry out a shooting at an Anzac Day service.

Another uploaded image is of the man's cat next to the assault rifle.

The Dabiq magazine, published on April 13, includes a hit-list of moderate western Muslim leaders, including Gold Coast doctor and lecturer Tawfique Chowdhury.

"Kill the crusaders and other disbelievers and apostates, including the imams of kufr, to make an example of them," the newspaper quotes the magazine as saying.

Zakariyah is connected on Facebook to a number of suspected Islamic extremists, including Wisam Haddad, who last year closed down the al Risalah Islamic Centre in Bankstown, in Sydney's southwest.

Counter-terror police believe the centre was a hub for radical Islamic preaching.
