Oliver Wendell Holmes once said "The right to swing my fist ends where the other man's nose begins."  

Very much akin to this I believe that one's  freedoms of religion and the like end where another person's freedoms begin.  This applies both to men forcing women to wear these things and to groups wishing to ban them.

But how on earth do you seperate the two?

Keep everything legal but make routes to inform people of their freedom and that they don't need to where the veils here.

A good help would be to look back historically on why they are worn.

Just because something is used for bad... doesn't mean you should ban it if all it's use isn't bad.

Burkha's aren't the crime.

If I forced my kid via beatings to where a shirt that says "I love Dio."

It's the abuse that's the crime.  Banning the object that is the after effect will have no lasting effect.

If you target the end result, the abuse will just be moved elsewhere.
