the Dip/Pol Ring and the Law Ring could become one in the extremist case:
But, some measure of secular input will enter the picture because of the external constraints - e.g., relations with the rest of the World.from MA
I'll go with your diagram but I wonder how far it applies. With Shia, no doubt, the separation between administration and religion is there. With extremist... I somethimes really wonder. What would be the demarcation line between politic and law if it's the same religious leader who defines both?
An extreme example would be an all-encompassing dictatorship which ignores all external constraints - a North Korea on steroids - where one man calls all of the shots in all three rings >>> a single ring. Again, that construct would be theoretical, not real.
