I've gone back and forth on how much I support the idea or whether it's just bollocks, but the logic is (or at least it should be) that it makes sense to ban an article of clothing that is oppressive to women, and which they are often obliged to wear, even if they actively desire to wear it due to cultural conditioning that may not be in their best interest to begin with. Personally I think these laws are just going to widen the divide between muslims and non-muslims and would be counter-productive, but I can't say I'm not sympathetic to the idea.
