I feel like a lot of comments here suffers from The Paradox of Tolerance.
This is about a minister setting down their foot on what degree of tolerance outside of cultural and societal norms this country should have. Just like any other country. Look at for example at Afghanistan, Japan, and Estonia - are they any different? Better or worse?
Still pretty anti-muslim.
The paradox of tolerance is that in order to have a tolerant society you must be intolerant of tolerance. Not allowing people to wear religious garb due to some perceived notion of freedom, I would say is pretty intolerant.
