Guardian article to be found here.

A Moroccan woman was denied French citizenship on the grounds that her choice to wear a Burqa constitutes a “radical” practice of Islam that is contradictary to French equality laws.

This is a flash back to previous attacks on Muslims by the French government (link) and shows that hostility and islamaphobic policies haven’t (unfortunately) changed with the times.
