France is a democratic nation.
You may not always agree with every law passed by any democratic Government, whether that’s in France, or the UK, or any other European nation, or indeed the USA. But these are decisions taken by national governments that have been voted into office by the general public.
In contrast, when Islamic individuals decide to form themselves into pressure groups or terrorist groups, threatening to murder people, and in fact actually caring out those threats of murder on many occasions in Europe alone, that is a entirely different situation in which unelected lethally dangerous religious maniacs decide to murder people who they feel are insufficiently religious. That's not comparable in any honest way at all to laws passed by proper democratic governments, such as the government of France.
France is also a secular nation which has long had a policy of keeping religion out of the business of government & politics as much as they possibly can.
In the case of the Buqua, or any other large-scale religious dress (as opposed to small-scale barely visible items like a cross or a wrist bangle), what the French government does not want, is to allow Islamic people in France to turn themselves into head-to-toe walking statements of religious insistence .... ie the "insistence" that anyone who has any public dealing with them must do so by being confronted with the edifice of a head-to-toe walking statement of Islam.
