Tens of thousands of Indonesian Muslims have taken to the streets in the country\u2019s capital Jakarata, denouncing US President Donald Trump\u2019s decision to recognize Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel\u2019s \u2018capital.\u2019<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\tSome 80,000 protesters \u2014 by police estimates \u2014 marched from the main mosque in the Indonesian capital to a square in front of the US Embassy on Sunday, calling on Washington to retract the controversial decision, presstv.com reported.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe rally was organized by the Indonesia Ulema Council, the country\u2019s top Muslim clerical body, and supported by the government as well as various Muslim groups and Islamic organizations.<\/p>\n

\n\tDressed mostly in white, the protesters chanted \u2018God is greatest,\u2019 waved Palestinian flags, and held up banners that read, \u2018Peace, love and free Palestine.\u2019<\/p>\n

\n\tAn Indonesian police spokesman said 20,000 police and members of the military had been deployed in the area to ensure security. Police also held back the protesters behind coils of barbed wire outside the US Embassy in Jakarta.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe are here with all of our Indonesian Muslim brothers. We convey our aspiration to our brothers in Palestine. I hope that they will have their freedom and Allah give them power and patience so that they can get their independence just like ours,\u201d a protester said.<\/p>\n

\n\tIndonesia\u2019s religious affairs minister and Jakarta\u2019s governor were also among those at the protest site.<\/p>\n

\n\tReading from a petition due to be handed to the US ambassador in Indonesia, Anwar Abbas, who is the secretary general of the Indonesian Ulema Council, called on all Indonesians to stop buying American products until Trump revokes his decision.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe urge all countries to reject the unilateral and illegal decision of President Donald Trump to make Jerusalem Israel\u2019s capital,\u201d Abbas told the crowd.<\/p>\n

\n\tTrump announced that his administration would recognize Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel\u2019s \u2018capital\u2019 and relocate the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem al-Quds on December 6.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat announcement was only welcomed by Israel. Saudi Arabia\u2019s response was also conspicuously muted.<\/p>\n

\n\tDemonstrations were held in protest in the occupied Palestinian territories, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Tunisia, Algeria, Iraq, Morocco, and other Muslim countries.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) convened an emergency meeting to call on all Muslim nations to respond by pressing the world for the recognition of East Jerusalem al-Quds as the capital of a Palestinian state.<\/p>\n

\n\tIsrael annexed East Jerusalem al-Quds after it occupied the Palestinian territories of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and the Syrian Golan Heights during the Six-Day War of 1967. That annexation has never been recognized by the international community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
