Bangladesh could drop Islam as the country's official religion following a string of extremist attacks against people of other faiths.
The supreme court in the South Asia nation has began to hear arguments which challenge Islam's status as the official state religion.
It comes after a spate of attacks against people of other religions such as Hindus, Christians, and minorities Shi'ites, which have been blamed on Islamic extremists.
When Bangladesh was formed in 1971 after the nation split from Pakistan, it was declared a secular state. However, in 1988 the country's constitution was amended with Islam declared as the state religion.
But this is now being disputed as illegal in the latest court battle and is being supported by religious minority leaders.
Meanwhile the US has also warned that ISIS is stepping up recruitment in Bangladesh, even though the government says the extremist problems are home grown.

It’s long past time the world acknowledges this is nothing more than a violent political ideology.
And act accordingly.
It seems to me that all nations with Islam as their official religion are guano holes.
So would Islam remain the nation’s unofficial state religion? Or would they take efforts to eradicate the Islamonazis in their midst?
Islam=kill, rob, or enslave EVERYBODY ELSE.
So.................
What are we waiting for?
After us losing thousands of soldiers in Iraq and Afghanisan Both countries recently adopted new Constitutions which make them both Islamic States with Islam as the official religion and no laws allowed that conflict with Islam.
Us Kafirs are slow learners when it comes to Islam. - Tom
The Muslims, minority or not will not allow this. Civil war starting in 5, 4, 3, 2, ....
That’s probably not gonna stop the extremist attacks. May even double them.
No country should have an official religion. This is proof that isliym is not a religion, but a political ideology.
Cue the riots in . . . 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .
