Government has no business dictating what people can wear and what they cannot. Now, if you're setting a law on the basis that covering the face makes things like robbery easy to accomplish in certain institutions, fine. But if you're wearing it on your own time, sorry, but you have every right to do it. Let's also get one thing clear, not all women are wearing it against their own free will. People take their religion very seriously. Should Hasidic Jewish women also be banned from covering their heads with wigs and veils too? Give me a break. Once you start letting the government dictate your personal lifestyle when you aren't bothering anyone else, you're opening the door to all types of horrible things. Europeans seriously have not learned from their own history, and Germans of all people, also haven't learned from theirs either.
