I hate those face coverings. I wouldn't call it Islamophobia, just way outside of my comfort zone. I don't like it, it makes me feel uneasy, yes. Annoyed too. I wonder if that isn't a motivation - the shock factor on unsuspecting natives.
Wearers should comply with the law, and the law should state that no face coverings are mandatory in certain cercumastances, if that's needed. We've had similar issues contended before in the UK. Crash helmets or turbans. The Sikh observation of carrying a long knife... beaten by the law that knives had to have a maximum fixed length of 6" - no problem... the Sikhs now carry toy replicas.
