Persecution and violence against minorities as experienced by the Ahmadiyah congregation continued to harass me. Specifically since the Cikuesik tragedy, where people could brutally destroy and kill others without humanity. The same incident almost happened to the Ahmadiyah congregation in Bukit Duri, South Jakarta, where persecution and sealing of the Ahmadiyah’s mosque took place again.
Encouraged by the curiosity of what actually happened and what the ahamdiyah is teachings made me ventured to enter and conduct direct interviews with the leadership of the Ahmadiyah congregation, although the conditions at that time were not very much conducive because people anti-Ahmadiyah were guarding at an-Nur Mosque entrance, where the Ahmadiyah concgregation are praying. From the conversation at that time I sympathized with our Ahmadiyah friends who has to experience persecution and violence.
The photos about the Ahmadiyah Congregation emphasized morality and humanity beside views of some people who consider this teaching is misguided. With these photos I want to focus on the injustice that our country has failed to protect its citizens, especially minorities. I want to invite readers to look a little farther that there are other things that are more important than judging someone’s beliefs, more over that the justification arises to do violence against people of different faiths.
