France has really overreacted here. The terrorism excuse is also bullshit.
By trying to protect women from sexist cultural thing that is excused by religion*/as a reaction to something that relatively new **now women are again in more trouble and of course racists feel empowered. And as the article say there have been fights in places.
**France always had Muslims but thanks to shitty regressive forms now burqinis/face veils have been introduced [look at traditional muslim dress VS what SA has introduced]
So now what? This isn't secularism, as banning dress isn't, but it's part of wider problems (racism on one end, and lack of acknowledging women's rights on another end)
