Swedes. Why is public Quran burning protected under the guise of free expression but not Adhan (Call to prayer)? What should it take to protect adhan under free expression?

It is protected under free speech, you can sing that all day if you’d like.
It’s not illegal as long as you’re not using a microphone and speaker.

It’s entirely fine to do calls to prayer as long as the local municipality doesn’t think you’re being a nuisance purely due to the noise, which they very well might.
Freedom of expression protects what you say, it doesn’t protect being a nuisance by e.g. shouting political propaganda from a truck that you drive around people’s homes or something.
Cause Swedes are hypocrites
We have freedom of religion and Freedom of expression in Sweden. Freedom of religion is your right to believe in what god/ess and practice what religion you wish. You have the right to excercise the rights in what way you so desire, as long as they dont interfere with other persons rights.
The rights are something that is between you as an individual and the state/Public sector meaning that my freedom of expression and your Freedom of religion might clash. The way to solve the problem is to make sure that you are not interfering with the other persons rights. Such as my right not to have any religion.
In Sweden and in Europe as a whole (memberstates of the EU), the right to religion is divided between internal and external rights, where the internal (rights to worship, prayer etc) is one thing and the right to excercise in Public is another thing.
In Sweden and many other countries people value their sleep lots. We like it quiet. As a consequence loud sounds are prohibited. It doesnt matter if its Adhan or church- bells.
We have strict regulations on noice pollution in our code of health. As long as you obide to them there’s no problem.
We have huge issues with kids blasting their car stereos in the middle of the night waking up whole neighborhoods and that doesn’t fall under freedom of speech. So regardless if it’s an adhana or Hooja, just don’t bother people.
You’re also allowed to listen to Hitler’s speeches. But not at full blast from a tall tower.
You are allowed to do it as long as it is not too loud and people find it annoying. I dont really understand your question?
This is rage bait.
