I have no problem with it.
It's just a signal.
"Dozens" of women affected?
Probably more naturists are affected by "decency" laws.
It's like the immigration advert the Dutch made which showed same sex couples embracing, which was supposedly offensive to Muslims. So what? Don't come here if you won't accept our culture.
I'm not racist, xenophobic or anti-Islam in any way. I worked and was friends with plenty of Muslim colleagues in Leicester. This law does not persecute in any way. It simply draws a line in tolerance. We do NOT accept female circumcism in this country. We do NOT accept multiple marriages. We are suspect about the veil. I'm not sure we should ban it, but if the rest of Europe goes that way I am happy to accept it.
