I don't know if you need Shariah law as a constitution to become an Islamic country. We can look at actual Islamic countries and see if they truly adopted Shariah as law.
If you go by how deeply embedded Sunni Islamic values are in the population, then Bangladesh is by far an Islamic country.
If we adopt Shariah - then non-Muslims will become dhimmis and may have to pay Jiziah tax, which I don't believe will ever happen in Bangladesh.
Bangladeshi society is based on respect for non-adherent Bnagladeshis (Hindus, Buddhists, Christians) while we Muslim Bangladeshis pursue and adhere to Islam.
One cannot force people to convert to Islam. Never works.
Those who come to Islam must come because it is a better and fairer way to lead your life. A better aqidah in other words.
Al Kafirun (Qur'an 109:1-6)
"Say: O ye that reject Faith!
I worship not that which ye worship,
Nor will ye worship that which I worship.
And I will not worship that which ye have been wont to worship,
Nor will ye worship that which I worship.
To you be your Way, and to me mine. "
Bangladesh is not like middle eastern Islamic countries, it is a very moderate one. Closest analogs are Indonesia, though Indonesia is ahead of us economically. But many values are similar, there is more tolerance for dissent and fair play.
However one would be wrong if they questioned the depth of our faith just because most of the population are not zealots. Bangladeshis are deeply faithful, but they do not wear Islam on their collective sleeves. They also do not believe in persecuting non-believers, which we unfortunately see in India today with non-Hindu persecution, for example.
The rate of female empowerment (opportunities in jobs and education) for us is higher than India and even US (more females in jobs than them percentage wise). Far less females in India are employed as a percentage compared to our country.
There are more females than males in school from grades 1 through 12 in Bangladesh.
This is seen a prerequisite to becoming a better country having opportunities for all citizens IMHO.
But we are again, straying far from the topic of the thread.
