#1 This is actually a great first step to outlawing.
1 Tax and regulate.
2 arrest and fine offenders
3 onsficate offending scarves AND fine
4 outlaw all "Offensive Dress"

Finaly, some brains showing.

#2 I'd rather see the West get at the problem behind the headscarf.

If a woman wishes to wear a headscarf because she believes that it is a proper way for her to show her reverence to God, I have no problem.

If a woman needs to wear a headscarf because she's afraid that if she doesn't, the local hard boyz from the neighborhood will harass or beat her, I have a problem.

The problem isn't the headscarf. The problem is the control over women that it symbolizes. We don't need to ban the scarf, we need to thump the hard boyz until they learn the proper lesson.

#3 They are using the same tactics the hard boyz are using. Threaten those who offend them. Not gonna work.

#4 Should have said:

Not gonna work without threats of beheading.
