Do you seriously believe the USA is the only country in the world where there's freedom of speech?
Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights provides the right to freedom of expression. Many other countries also guarantee their citizens' freedom of speech.
A lot of Americans have this idea that the rest of the world is a festering shithole (some of them think that because the only foreign country they ever visited was indeed a shithole, and they were there to kill the locals).
