Why are the french so anal about the muslim headscarf? Live and let live right?

Unless your eyes are actually bleeding from seeing one, why bother working yourself up?

Because it's embarrassing to be surrounded by the culture of the people you enslaved and treated as inferior for more than a century. Not only surrounded, they now have equal opportunities and manage to be more competent than their own. And that wasn't forseen when the Africans were taken as cheap labor.

Their views towards the scarf have been the same since 1830’s.
