the part about weapon concealment sounds reasonable to me. however to forcefully 'integrate' Muslims to dress down like others isn't the right way to go as this will only drive them more towards isolation.

what the French government did with the headscarf isn't fair at all to the Muslim community. they should allow them to continue to wear that. maybe not the type that covers all of the head except the face, which is not pragmatic at all for school life (which involves some physical activities such as sports). if one imposes this to the Muslim community, what's to stop them to impose the same on the Sikhs which the men wear turbans? or Christian religious sisters who wear headscarf of some kind as well? or Jews from wearing their skullcaps?

to make people uniform physically to address the un-uniformness of mentality is just the worst way to do so. whatever happens to the freedom that is supposedly equally accessible to minority as it is to the majority? Jack Straw should try to wear headscarf. very comfortable in winter.
