Frence's legislation did not specifically targeted one particular group of people. Instead, it's ban was against all form of overtly religiuos symbol. Whereas Bavaria's legisation specificaly targetted Muslim women.
I also question the real reason why Bavaria passed this legislation. Edmund Stoiber, the Bavarian premier, is known for his statement against immigrants. In particular, he has disdain against anything Turkish. He is very vocal about keeping Bavaria a Christian state and he is also against EU being expanded into EU.
