Islamic revolution turned the Taghuti system into a democratic system

The most important task that the Revolution has carried out–which is a fundamental task–is turning the monarchic system into a democratic system.--This is the most important task that the Revolution has carried out! And the Revolution was inspired by Islamic teachings, not by the schools of thought introduced by this or that theoretician with the shortcomings and contradictions that exist in their ideals. The Revolution was inspired by Islam and the Quran: "Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who reject faith fight in the cause of evil [The Holy Quran, 3: 76]."

The divine system is against the Taghuti [tyrannical] system, the Islamic Republic, and the Islamic Revolution defined the divine system to mean religious democracy.--The Islamic Republic represents this. It turned the Taghuti system into a democratic system: this is the most important task.
