Not true.And I wouldn't call Iran a "shared government" Sunni, Iran has a large population of Jews but they are not allowed in politics, the Ayatollahs run that country with an iron fist.
Persian Jews - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe Constitution of Iran says that Jews are equal to Muslims. Imam Khomeini visited with members of the Jewish community and issued a decree ordering the adherents of Judaism and other revealed religions to be protected. Jews are entitled to self-administration and one member of the 290-seat Majlis is elected by only Jews. Jewish burial rites and divorce laws are accepted by Islamic courts. Tehran has over 20 synagogues. Iran has one of only four Jewish charity hospitals in the world. The hospital has received donations from top Iranian officials, including President Ahmadinejad. Kosher butcher shops are available in Iran. There are Hebrew schools and coeducation is allowed
Jews are not allowed in politics, let one of them Persian Jews try running for Mayor of Tehran and see what happens.
A Christian woman was elected the mayor of Ramallah.
