Bangladeshi police stand guard as the hardline Islamists protest outside the national mosque Baitul Mukarram in Dhaka on March 25, 2016.
Thousands of Bangladeshi hardline Islamists have rallied across the country against an "infidels'-initiated" move to scrap Islam as the state-religion in the Muslim-majority nation. Nearly seven thousand activists of hardline group Hefazat-e-Islam carried banners and festoons and chanted slogans on Dhaka high roads after the Friday prayer booing the government for not taking "sufficient actions" to stop "mockery" against Islam, religion of nearly 90 percent of the population of the country. / AFP / MUNIR UZ ZAMAN (Photo credit should read MUNIR UZ ZAMAN/AFP/Getty Images)
