I can see why some businesses might require peoples' faces to be showing (banks, convenience stores, etc), but leave that up to the businesses, don't make a blanket law about it. You can't by law ban someone from wearing a confederate flag t-shirt, a nazi arm patch, or a "Fuck jesus" baseball cap (in America, anyway), so why ban them from wearing something just because it's related to Islam?
Indeed, what we need are more bikinis in Mecca!!!! On a serious note, what the OP forget to mention was, there happened to be a very large fight with between the locals and (according to yahoo, people from the outside) some Magrehbins. The locals took a couple of photos and unfortunately, it exploded into a big massive fight and over 100 police personnel came rushing in. Anyway, it just so happens that the Magrehbins were armed to the teeth and the locals weren't taking it lightly so, they overturned and burnt out the cars belonging to the Magrehbins (this is a general pastime in the 93 area of Ile de France whenever there is a riot, where the yobs target cars of innocent people). Anyway, to cut a long story short, in spite of what France is, the Corsicans are very proud of their heritage, and if there is one thing you don't do as a stranger; that is piss off a Corsican. I say this, because a couple of North Africans called the emergency services saying there was a fire (when there really wasn't) and attacked the fire personnel. The police literally had to cordon and protect the North African quarter because the Corsicans wanted blood. Furthermore, it isn't related to Islam whatsoever.
