I support the general idea that a person should not wear cloths that makes is hard to impossilble to identify that person, but this law has been made with a very small group of persons in mind (one survey says there are somewhere between 6 to 12 women in the Netherlands wearing a burqa).
This is one of the signs of a government trying harder to stay in power by pleasing a right wing party than trying to tackle the real problems in the country (other symbolic laws are raising the speed limit on some roads from 120 km/h to 130 km/h in a country measuring 100 km by 200 km plagued with trafic jams and of course creating animal cops in times of austerity when the police force is facing with budget cuts).
This being said, I do understand the feeling of uncomfort by some people towards other people claiming a lot of stuff in the name of their religion. After a while that religion becomes the focal point of some peoples aversion. I do not support that feeling.
The basis of the anti-muslim feeling in the Netherlands are mainly trouble caused by youth of north african descent who just happen to be muslim and in general have lower education and therefore a higher number unemployment.
Nowadays the press are making a meal of everything muslim, feeding those anti muslim feelings.
