About 100,000 Muslim clerics and preachers rallied in the Bangladeshi capital on Thursday denouncing the growing threat of Islamic terrorism in the country.  The rally at Dhaka’s national memorial was marking the 42nd anniversary of the Islamic Foundation, an organization associated with the Ministry of Religious Affairs.   Organizers said the April 6 rally was staged to protest a violent "power grab" in the name of Islam in Muslim majority Bangladesh, where a rise in Islamist extremism has sparked international concern. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and  senior clerics from Saudi Arabia addressed the gathering urging Muslims to fight extremism.  The rally followed recent attacks by terrorists in the northeastern city of Sylhet and near Dhaka.  Many, including last year’s attack on an upmarket cafe in Dhaka in which 22 people including 18 ‎foreign hostages were killed, have been claimed by the Islamic State (IS) group.&lr...
