No, that’s not what’s happening. Both the headline and the article indicate that they’re NOT going to pass laws to limit free speech, despite the fact that some Muslim countries have demanded they put a stop to Quran burning protests.
Danish person here: A lot of this is very much “politician speech”. They would of course never admit that their proposals would limit free speech in any way. What the Danish government seems to be planning is a ban on burning the Quran (and other holy texts) outside of embassies, which obviously is a restrictions of free speech, albeit a minor one.
The other narrative that Lars Løkke (Foreign Minister) is hitting at the moment is that the abolition of the blasphemy law in 2017 went too far, and rolling it back a bit is necessary to protect “Danish interests”.

Yep that’s good. Nobody should be losing rights or freedoms in the 21st century.
In the USA, I vote against anyone who proposes to limit our freedoms. I don’t have a lot of options to vote for though.
You vote for someone who ensures your freedoms won’t get restricted? TO DOWNVOTE HELL WITH YOU, YOU FILTHY CAPITALIST PIG!
