I don't see how 'free speech' is the same as 'permitting any action to express any opinion'.

"free speech" is just a non-legal term :) i think the correct wording should be "Freedom of expression"... but it's easier to write free speech
and not everything is allowed, from the goverments website: "For example, this freedom does not extend to slander or committing an act involving threats or agitation against a national or ethnic group. On the other hand, religions as such are not protected against expressions of opinion that challenge religious messages or that may be perceived as hurtful to believers."

Exactly; "free speech" isn't free speech. You can't, e.g. use a gun in arbitrary ways to advocate freer gun laws, etc. So e.g. restricting how you can use a Bible or a Quran wouldn't be particularly limiting - you can still express your dislike for the quran or the bible!
Restricting how you can say things is not the same as restricting what you can say.

true,
but also if we ban burnings of the Quran because muslims gets violent - we do it of the wrong reason... and that is a very dangerous path to take

I do sort of agree, but meanwhile, I do think a lot of free speech enthusiasts fail to grasp the difference between "åsiktsfrihet" and "rätt att göra saker utan konsekvenser".
