Personally I think all Muslim accoutrments should be banned, for the same reason wearing Nazi uniforms should be banned.

We have to be thoughtful here, and not go overboard. I hate Muslims as much as anyone. However, deciding whether a headscarf is Muslim or not, is difficult. And a blanket ban on wearing a headscarf can take away the need some women have for wearing one. My wife has been battling cancer for years now, and has needed to wear a headscarf when she lost all her hair due to treatments. Many women that lost all their hair and went bald have a need to cover up for their self-esteem. Wearing a wig was not an option for my wife, she preferred to wear a scarf. So next time you see a woman wearing a scarf, consider carefully why she is wearing one.

I did try to take cultural reasons into account in my post - you left that part out of your quote of my response. And nothing I said has anything to do with medical accomodations - you and your wife have my condolences, of course.. But your accusations are a bit unfair - we are under a slow motion invasion in this country by Muslims, and head coverings are one of the ways liberals are encouraging solidarity with them, especially from the same ignorant girls those Muslims intend to rape as their property. I stand against that in any way I can.
