Applying reading comprehension a bit, notice how the point the ECHR made was that Partisi wanted to supplant a personal system that would be above and a replacement for democratic government, and had the power to usurp a sovereign nation's law with his influence.

Hah, so a bunch of uptight religious types are MUSLIM EXTREMISTS. I can imagine the Robot Chicken skit, right now: "Mommy, look! My shiny shield projects a neat star and crescent moon!"
