Although decisions of european authroties to ban viels are based on Islamo-phobic attitudes but Muslims also take care of some of their behavior.
If we look at reaction of various muslim nationalities to such situations, we will find stark differences. For example, Turks have been interacting with Europeans for centuries and they have no such problem of dressing in public. Turks and other Eurpoean Muslims try to conform with local environment without compromising their fundamental islamic tenents. These are mostly middle eastern people who are rigid in their outlook disregarding their environment.
Anyway, face veils are not fundemental islamic requirement per se. It is more of a cultural thing. It is even prohibited during Hajj. Further, Islam advises muslims to take middle path and avoid confontation.
