Headscarves are beautiful, and you should be able to wear one if you want to.
Europe is strange about them though, they really seem hung up on it. The wanting to ban them makes me uncomfortable though, the government shouldn't be able to take clothes off people.
Like, I grew up in a place where, at the time, it was perfectly legal for women to walk around without a shirt on (not like with a bra or a tanktop, but with nothing, like a man) but nobody did it*. Was it unfair that culturally men could walk around topless, but not women? Sure. But if some thinkhead official decided I was being oppressed and needed to be liberated from my shirt I'd have found that horrible.
Anyway, that was long-winded. And possibly irrelevant. If you like wearing a headscarf, you should wear one. Rock it. And everyone else should mind their own business.
* I only saw it done once, at some sort of march. Guys with camcorders outnumbered marchers.
