Bingo. The reason the women are pubically protesting about the potential scarf ban is because their men tell them too. Or else....

Perhaps, but that seems to me to be a separate issue, especially considering that the ban also includes "big" crosses, yarmulkes, etc. Do the women make Jewish men wear those? Perhaps Chirac should ban men forcing women into certain religious beliefs, rather than cowering behind a clothing accessory issue. This assumes that Chirac really cares about either of those issues. Seems to me Chirac has missed the first tenet of France's motto, Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite..... where's the liberty?
