No it doesn't justify it. And what you already said about women paying the price. And what you said about anti-muslim sectarianism. I completely disagree with the terrorism factor. And no I don't get how anybody can take it that far, but people aren't rational when scared and the media has been exaggerating things.
But the terrorism part (which is pure BS) is not the only thing that's feeding this law. A group started a fight because some people took photos of a woman, and some groups police women. [which not only Muslims do btw it happens in the UK by strict Jewish sects also, and we are back to bias]
Currently there's a whole discussion if this is even Muslim, if this is suppression of women and the discussion should have stayed a discussion, not a kneejerk ban of "Oh let's just ban things" empowering the xenophobes (anybody shouting go home needs their head looked at) and a woman having her clothes taken off by armed police, cos WTF.
TL:DR I don't think racism/xenophobia/sectarianism exist in a vacuum of "Let's be racist" bar a few unhelpable cases, the media and frustrations all play a part. That doesn't make it right btw.

It pretty much is. It doesn't take a lot of intellectual consideration to see the difference between those that are perpetrating acts of terrorism and those that aren't. After all, all of those attacks have been perpetrated by men but nobody is calling for a blanket law governing the behaviour of all men. In fact if you're going to pull out the terrorist attack argument, that makes it worse because women haven't perpetrated those acts but are the ones being subject to scrutiny of "good morals and secularism".
All this really is just very simple racism. There may be a lot of elements that used as justification that but ultimately all of it leads to the descrimination of one group of people with a shared cultural identity. It's actually not that complicated at all.
