Hundreds of people claiming to come from Dakwah Islam College, Tanjungpriok besieged Friday prayers at Nurudin Mosque on Jl Kebon Bawang, Neighborhood Unit 09/Community Unit 01, Tanjungpriok, North Jakarta.
The location is reported to be used by Ahmadiyah followers to perform their activities.
A clash nearly occurred, as member of mosque congregation were trying to block the protesters from entering the mosque.
Fortunately, police officers together with public order police officers (Satpol PP) managed to calm the two groups, and a confrontation was avoided.
One local resident Seto (35) said, the protest was dispersed after 30 minutes of speech rejecting the existence of Ahmadiyah congregation at the mosque.
One of the mosque management members, Hendro (40) says, the mosque was established 24 years ago, with the current congregation of at least 200 people.
"There has never been any problem so far. This is just a misunderstanding," Hendro told reporters Friday.
Today’s action was the second time, after another similar incident on 20 October.
