The article I read discussed the First Amendment, attacks against Muslims, and free expression. A video was published that was anti-Muslim and the video was defended under free expression and the First Amendment. The article points out that was viewers and readers often forget is that the Muslim community doesn't have the First Amendment and that, "...the rest of the world - and not just Muslims - see no point in the First Amendment." The article continues to explain the affect the First Amendment had on free speech and that just because a "totem" is accepted in one religion or culture does not mean that all others need to recognize and obey it.
