But I'm certainly not going to force my views on someone else's body, which this law certainly does.

I think that's what it all comes down to. I may disagree heavily with someone being required to cover their face and/or head, but that doesn't mean I think I have the right to decide whether or not they do it.

Also this is a devisive law. It means that people can start looking at each other and going 'see, she's not a good Muslim because she's obeying this country's law instead of our customs' or 'see, she's a good Muslim, because she looks like us and doesn't wear a headcovering'. No good can come from that.

I agree.
