I think you're both misunderstanding his point. He isn't arguing that we should take their customs and laws as our example. His point seems to me to be that if they find that sort of behavior acceptable in their home countries, they are practicing a double-standard when they complain of France doing essentially the same thing: limiting dress by law.

It's a fine distinction, but important.
Plus the restriction they force citizens in their native countries are nothing compared to 'banning burkas and niqabs' restrictions. They can execute someone for apostasy, but we can't ban something that can endanger public life AND represents oppression/sexual inequality.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
