The point of seperation of religion and state, is so that people are not forced to observe a particular faith, or denied the opportunity of religious belief. This is absolutely ridiculous, the notion that people will be unable to "live in public places" with other people that choose to dress according to their faith is nonsense. It's just pandering to bigotry in my opinion. If you can't relate to someone because they choose to wear a headscarf, then quite simply, you are a bigot. It just goes to show how petty and small people really are. This isn't helping integration. Integration is allowing people to retain their culture, whilst still being a part of a different wider culture.

Firstly I don't see how someone could be offended by what someone else chooses to wear. Secondly, why do some people think they have the right not to be offended, to the extent that other people have to be forced to conform to their ideals to avoid offence.
