"Islam is the official religion of the state and is the main source of legislation"
The key word in this sentence is "main." Everything hinges on how that word is interpreted. Obviously Islam will be a primary influence on legislation; anyone who doubted that was living in a dream world. But if a hard-line interpretation of sharia is avoided, it will be a loss for the terrorists and the fundamentalist imams. "Main" gives us hope - for now - that there is resistance to the hard-liners and that this resistance is finding its way into the law. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I see. It all depends on what the meaing of "is" is. Is that what you're saying?
