I have to somewhat disagree, at least when it comes to certain contexts, on the point about hatred, partially but not exclusively based on the rising tide of far-right anti-Muslim narratives in French politics. For years, especially under Macron, some of the French government's rhetoric toward Islam and expressions thereof has been, in my opinion, nothing short of incendiary and reckless. I don't think a secular government has any business legislating what women can or can't wear at the beach, and I see no reason to believe that France is such a unique case that it can't allow burkinis and religious symbols in public like many other developed countries do.
Many people, including feminists, both from France and other countries have pointed out the inconsistency and irony in the French government's claims to stand for secularism, freedom, and women's rights (Macron has previously claimed to be a feminist, for instance) while cracking down on Islamic clothing even if women voluntarily choose to wear it. I think this cartoon sums up the double standards pretty well:
