Tunisian protesters demand Islamic state
None
Thousands of Tunisians rallied outside parliament on Friday, demanding an Islamic state ruled by religious law in a country long considered one of the Arab world's most secular.
Carrying black and white flags inscribed with Islamic verses, protesters demanded that sharia, or Islamic law, be the basis of a new constitution that parliamentarians are hashing out after last year's revolution that ousted Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali after 23 years of rule and inspired other "Arab Spring" uprisings.
