  But if somebody else says 'I think it should be burned' that is not freedom of speech.

  You really need to read the article properly and stop skimming it. That's the whole point of the article. That no concept of freedom involves freedom from criticism. No right you may or may not have entities you to exercise it without the risk of society disapproving.
