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?

Probably because men used to hide beneath those headscarves and then shot up or blew up French soldiers and civilians when the French occupied Algeria.

Not a single documented occurrence of that.
You can't hide behind the headscarf. Your face is revealed.
The traditional outfit in Algeria wasn't the Hidjab or the burqa.
Only modernized women in "French Algeria" were allowed in french public places like Cafés. They wore skirts and dresses.
