If you want to spin the reason for banning Burqa to put the right wing protestors as hypocrites them we can also claim hypocrisy on the left wing that will demand non-religious state, woman rights being the same of man but would also defend Islam over Christianity.

Sure. I can call a spade a spade.
Many on the left are hypocrites who would defend Islam over Christianity.
But the far-right are also hypocrites for wanting to ban facial coverings whilst wearing facial coverings.
See. Wasn't that hard, great thing about being more in the center is I can actively criticize both sides of the political divide.

Freedom of religion is also embracing Sharia Law, which they uphold over the country Law and that is mandating woman to use burqa even against their will. That may not be the state mandating, but a husband, father, priest equivalent, etc mandating is still a break on that person freedom.

Sharia Law is a religious law, it doesn't not take priority over the law of the land, aka. Legislated law. That is the reality.
I do work in several emergency service organizations and work closely with police, I can assure you... Regardless of what religion you follow, you break the law, you get punished, that's not religious persecution that goes against freedom of religion either.
So... With that in mind.
1) You are free to follow any religion you desire as per the constitution.
2) You are still obligated to follow the law, regardless of your religion.
3) Religious law is something that can only be applied to oneself, not forcefully on others, just like a dieting "rules" provided it doesn't come into conflict with other laws.
All this whinging about Sharia law is just silly when the countries law is what takes precedent in any legal matters.
Keep in mind that Sharia law is based on their religious writings outlaid in the Quran, allot of those same "rules" are found in the Christian Bible (Such as not being allowed to consume pork in Leviticus) and the Jewish Torah, which makes sense... They are all religions derived from the same source materials with their own spin.
Thus they should all be treated identically, not just socially, but in legislation and political outlets as well.

I'm right wing and have no problem criticizing right wing, even more on the parts that they are in favor of actively interfering in citizens life (like regulating marriage and being against same sex marriage or polimarriage). And in this case sure you can criticize right wing wanting to ban burqa while using facial coverage (even though I don't see a hypocrisy on this since reasons are quite different).
1) and 2) ok... 3) there are plenty cases of forcing religion on others, just like children being circuncized in jews, or making your child or wife use burqa.
