A nice lawyerly way of saying that the rights of the folks on the death ship to "express" themselves, trump Portugal's right to determine which vessels enter its waters. They've used a kind of "free speech" loophole, here. They're effectively saying that Portugal has stymied the supposed rights to "free speech" of the ladies on the death ship.
Ridiculous, really but we know how the game is played by now, don't we?
Let's say I wanted to sail a ship into Dutch or Belgian territorial waters which broadcast the message that homosexual acts were offensive to God. How far would that ship get, I wonder? If it wasn't sunk on sight, I think I'm safe in saying that it would receive zero help from the European Court of Human Rights. In fact, I'm willing to bet that they'd actually prosecute me for hate speech. You see, rights of ....."expression" only extend so far in today's Europe. They're bestowed upon abortionists but not Christians.
I say let the Moslems have at it. Let them overrun this European cess pit and lynch every liberal, abortion-peddling, homosexuality-promoting secular humanist they can find. Most of the remaining Christians will already have been forced into exile by that stage, anyway.
My U.S. employer is a fanatic on diversity and rights of gays,etc.But ,I have noticed consistently that Americans holding the traditional views of Christianity do more work and cause less trouble.
