    Non-European here. What’s the purpose of bans like these? The obvious cause appears to be racism/Islamophobia, but is there something else?

      You got it. Sometimes politicians say its for “security” so when someone is at a protest they can just arrest them just for wearing a mask.

      Yep, islamophobia. Our far right party passed it. They also passed a law banning minarets.
