All these are ever based on is fear. People are afraid of these cultures and will justify it (even convince themselves) that is is due to some actual danger they pose.

In reality it is because they do have a fear of the culture, a culture they cannot understand, so they impose stupid bans like this in an effort to force these cultures into being more like them. They think this will make the cultures easier for them to understand which in turn may take away some of there fears.

As usual it is the fear of the unknown that is driving this, nothing else.
