As far as my motorcycle comments if you actually read what I typed there are alternatives for motorcyclists such as flip helmets..
You seem to think it's a case of ONLY one rule to fit all so there's not much point in arguing with you especially when we motorcyclists or even a person in the cold does have other options unlike these burkha wearers..

If the bans were about protecting women from beign forced to wear then they would just be about that, but they are not.
The French ban is designed to ban the wearing of it by anyone even those who choose to wear it rather than just making it illegal to force someone to wear it.
For those women who believe that to adhere to their religion they must cover their faces the alternative is to not leave their home or break the law.
Who are you to say they are following their religion wrong?
It doesn't matter if the koran says nothing of the sort, their religion is their personal interpretation of Islam.
Why is it not wrong for you to force your view on Islam on a follower of it yet wrong for a fellow muslim to do the same?
As for flip up helmets they were out of my price range of myself and the other bikers I knew with the exception of my uncle, and there is the concern of the face popping open in an accident. So no, they are not an alternative for many bikers.
