I don't see any reason as to why they should be banned. Some people percieve it as a form of oppression of women, it is however most of the time the women's choice to wear the headscarve. Even if it wasn't their choice (which like I said before it is in the majority of cases) banning the headscarve isn't going to stop the oppression on a deeper level anyway. Actions like these have the potential of further alienationg muslim communities. What the French have done, and what the German state is planning to do, disgusts me (both banning religious symbols or just headscarves).
