French Muslims take off scarves

Like women in Iran in the early 1980s who put them on as a statement in defiance to the US feminists telling them to take them off, French Muslims are taking off their scarves in solidarity with their countrymen--in other words, where there might have been more internal protests about the scarves, as there were last spring, the hostage situation actually kept the muslims in france from doing what they might otherwise have done. People really are unpredictable.
