Article summary: 

 The article discusses the issue of banning niqāb in France between the European and salafī Muslim trends.  The author believes that banning the niqāb in France is a step in the right direction, but in the wrong place.

She states that the European political trends that have appeared recently reflect Islamophobia, while the tension among salafī Muslim trends uses the same device, Islamophobia, to silence the opposition.
