The French law bans most face-covering garments including the Islamic face veil, or niqab, and Afghan-style burqa. French authorities argue the measure is important not only for security reasons but because the face veils violate France's secularist creed and women's rights. The ban has sparked controversy with some Muslims arguing it unfairly singles them out.
