Basically, it's freedom to practice one's own religion vs freedom to wear whatever one wants and gender equality.
They can't really stop arranged marriages and oppression of women, but what they CAN do is show that the country as a whole finds it unacceptable, and this is one of the few ways that they can do this.
I have nothing against any religion as long as they just quietly practice it, but religion should be a belief in something, not an all-out ritualistic, outdated bunch of nonsense. The burqa is a human invention by men, for the SOLE purpose of oppressing women, so I say ban it.
