What is it then?

It’s a tool to integrate muslims better into western society, and get rid of the parallel-society we have gotten in Europe. A woman wearing a burqa can’t get a job or interact well with western civilisation in any way. With a burqa ban you clearly show that if you decide to live in Europe, you live in accordance with European culture and leave the female-opressive elements of your middle-eastern culture and religion behind

There's just a problem with this: It's not working as such. The result is that the women who are wearing burqa or niqab are seldom doing so on their own free will, but it's the only way their husbands would let them leave their home. Now when these are forbidden, they are basically trapped in their own homes, and even more dependent to their husbands than they where before. You are not seeing women in burqa in a country with a ban because it's working, but because these women will never leave their houses ever again - the law has emprisoned them in their own homes.
