🇧🇷 Bust of Gangga Zombie, the founder of the Islamic State in Brazil? ❌ Photo shows the bust of Zumbi dos Palmares, who led the largest settlement of runaway slaves in colonial Brazil.
A picture has been shared on Indonesian social media along with a false claim that it shows a bust of"Gangga Zombie, the founder of the Islamic State in Brazil". The photo actually shows the bust of Zumbi, also known as Zumbi dos Palmares, a 17th-century slave resistance hero who led the largest settlement of runaway slaves in colonial Brazil. The photo has been doctored to add Arabic text, which does not exist on the actual plinth.
Meanwhile, the post's lengthy caption partly reads:"He is the Muslim hero 'Gangga Zombie.' He is a great personality and a hero of the Islamic State in Brazil, of African descent.
