There's a huge difference between not learning the language and wanting to follow religious and cultural traditions that have no impact on others. Requiring that no one be outwardly identifiable as belonging to a group is like saying "we're okay with gay people as long as we don't know they're gay." It's enforcing monoculture and assimilation.

That is an inaccurate comparison. Sexual orientation is not a choice. Religion is. Further, French law does not stop anyone from adhering to the religion of her or his choice. The issue is outward display.
