He's describing the constitutional arrangement of power in Iran and the extent to which the parties can veto decisions made by each other. Some bodies can advise, others can decide.

The various national Constitutions give religion a central place in quite a few countries. Here are a few quotes to show what I mean, which I summarise from International Constitutional Law :

Iran: Article 1 [Form of Government] The form of government of Iran is that of an Islamic Republic, endorsed by the people of Iran on the basis of their longstanding belief in the sovereignty of truth and Koranic justice

Egypt: Article 2 Islam is the religion of the state and Arabic its official language. Islamic jurisprudence is the principal source of legislation.

Afghanistan: Article 2 [State Religion] The religion of the state of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan is the sacred religion of Islam. Followers of other religions are free to exercise their faith and perform their religious rites within the limits of the provisions of law. Article 3 In Afghanistan, no law can be contrary to the beliefs and provisions of the sacred religion of Islam.

Algeria: Article 2 [State Religion] Islam is the religion of the State.

Bahrain: Article 2 [State Religion] The religion of the State is Islam. The Islamic Shari'a is a principal source for legislation.

Iraq: Article 7 [State Religion, Freedom of Religion, Arab Nation] Islam is the official religion of the State and is to be considered a source of legislation. No law that contradicts the universally agreed tenets of Islam, the principles of democracy, or the rights cited in Chapter Two of this Law may be enacted during the transitional period.

Kuwait: Article 2 [State Religion] The religion of the State is Islam, and the Islamic Sharia shall be a main source of legislation.

Libya: Article 2 [State Religion, Language] Islam is the religion of the State and Arabic is its official Language. The state protects religious freedom in accordance with established customs.

Oman: Article 2 [Religion] The religion of the State is Islam and the Islamic Shariah is the basis of legislation.

Qatar: Article 1 Qatar is an independent sovereign Arab State. Its religion is Islam and Shari'a law shall be a main source of its legislations.

Saudi Arabia: Article 1 The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a sovereign Arab Islamic state with Islam as its religion

Syria: Article 3 [Islam] (1) The religion of the President of the Republic has to be Islam. (2) Islamic jurisprudence is a main source of legislation.

Tunisia: Article 1 [State] Tunisia is a free State, independent and sovereign; its religion is the Islam, its language is Arabic, and its form is the Republic.

Yemen: Article 2 Islam is the religion of the state and Arabic is its official language.

Morocco: Article 6 [State Religion] Islam is the religion of the State which guarantees to all freedom of worship.

It's not just Islamic countries which do this. The UK Constitution provides for Anglicanism to be the State religion, for example.

Aussiepam asked "Are there any modern non-secular islamic countries where people of other faiths are now allowed to live in peace?" and the answer is yes:

Turkey: Article 10 Equality before the Law (1) All individuals are equal without any discrimination before the law, irrespective of language, race, colour, sex, political opinion, philosophical belief, religion and sect, or any such considerations.

I know friend, but they all have that rule but no one of them apply it, I mean all of them say the Islam is the main source for laws, but 90 % of the laws are not Islamic laws.

I liked Libya's "The state protects religious freedom in accordance with established customs", it has more of a threat about it than a promise. They're a robust nation, Libya. Very self-reliant. They don't stand for any nonsense internationally.

I was, and remain, very annoyed about the cowardly way President Reagan assassinated the man's daughter. Some acts are unforgivable.
