Some Swedish people do deny the holocaust, just like some people assert that the earth is flat. In Sweden, being wrong is not a crime. Nobody hangs them from a crane for their opinions.
Hate speech doesn’t have to incite violence. Hate speech can be just an expression of disrespect towards any ethnicity, religion, national origin, etc.
That depends on the legal definition in that country. In your own country, burning the national flag is protected under freedom of expression. In most developed countries, especially liberal democracies, only speech that incites violence is punishable by law. Anybody is free to burn books.
Most progressive countries dislike Indians too. And most colored people.
I admire America. But America doesn’t have double standards. They don’t allow this sort of hate speech in the US. If they do, they make sure it doesn’t get airtime. It’s because they have experience dealing with hate speech against blacks that this sort of thing does not fly. The last time some idiot pushed a movie that could offend Muslims, he went straight to jail.That depends on the legal definition in that country.

Your flags show that you are from the US, so I wonder how you are not aware of this. Innumerable people have burnt the bible, and even such artworks exist:

Err...they most certainly do allow this sort of speech in the US. There are unnumbered films or documentaries that mock religion. That is a basic, fundamental right in the USA. Here is one:
Do you?

No, but your peeps in Europe behind this charade certainly do.
They get plenty of airtime and more. Bill Maher (who's documentary I linked above) is featured on all major networks, in prime time. In the USA, and in most of the free world, you can burn books or offend religious sentiments - it is a fundamental right, just as practicing a religion is a right.
If there was such objectionable content that Muslims would be offended sufficiently to start riots, it would get no screen time whatsoever. Can guarantee this.
How can you guarantee this? On your word? "Trust me, bro"?
Because of case evidence like the one I provided above. Go read.
I get the feeling that you are rather young. Sure, live in your bubble. In the real US of A, everybody has the right to criticize any religion. Including your Islam.
I get the feeling you are not American. Or just naive. There have been two cases in my lifetime when some speech could have caused riots because it offended Muslims so. Both time, said speech was censored. I provided you one case- you can guess the other one if you are so aware of American issues.
No one said they don’t have the right to criticize anyones world view. People do it all the time. The difference is when it is hate speech, or incitement and when it can cause riots etc. Then good ol’ Uncle Sam does intervene. If you don’t think so, you are naive.
It is not speech for a starter.
As I pointed out, burning the Quran is against the religion, but not against the people adhering to the religion.
