Key difference: live vs. passing through, also known as being a *tourist*. I hate the burqa too, Yaz, and there are legitimate reasons for a country to ban it. But people from other countries should not be tied to dress code laws if they're just visiting.
But they are. In extreme cases, that guy in North Korea was arrested for taking a poster. Tourists in Singapore are fined for spitting out their gum. It’s the way laws across the planet work. There’s never an exemption for tourists.

This is akin to the naturalistic falacy; just because things are a certain way doesn't mean that's the way they should be. I don't understand why you are using North Korea as an example in your defense. Shouldn't this be a red flag?
