It is the Belgians right to pass those social restrictions its people see fit to impose. While I have not problem with face veils, I also have no problem with a culture deciding to ban them. If people want to where them in Belgium it become incumbent upon them to persuade the majority that veils are acceptable. Rioting and sending death threats, as have been done there and in France, is not the way to persuade people to change their minds. If anything it makes them more firm in their belief (wrong IMO) that Islam is intolerant and oppressive of women.
