French Deny Visa Over Head Scarf

[Dan]

Bismillah

As salam alaikum

"Veronique Lhemenn, spokeswoman for the French Consulate in Houston, said French law forbids any attire from obscuring the view of a person in a photograph for a visa. The law applies to all visa applicants of any religion, she said. "

To what other religion would this apply? Sikh?

Can't go to France? Big loss.

As salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu
