It sounds like a step towards chinification / talibanization .. where what one can wear / say is controlled by the govt. EU is slipping towards selective liberty (which supports the Danish cartoonist but is against a women covering itself) ... but still, it is light years ahead of other parts of the world.
The idea of muslim countries opposing it does nt make much sense to me. After all, western women and men, when in arab countries, have to adhere to "some" dress code.
