I think the real issue regarding RCMP and Turbans revolved around the police officers that operated motorcycles. The Indian officers wanted to wear their turban in place of a motorcycle helmet.
I don't mind if Indian officers want to wear a turban instead of the traditional hat, but when it comes to legally-required protective gear, you can't make religious exceptions. A Muslim person's head busts open just as easily as a Christian's.
As for the burqa, I am undecided. I see this is a very harsh, very bold move from the French. But, when it comes to national security, then yes, the minority cannot endanger the majority.
