The European fascination with the relationship between headscarves and Islamic extremism, along with minarets and this extremism has always amazed me. I don't understand where these concepts come from.
It's just old fashioned xenophobia. Muslims are immigrants with darker skin. They don't like.
Since xenophobia is not very popular in 21. century Western Europe of political correctness, they hide it behind phony arguments. Like womens rights' (as if the conservatives ever cared...), or the need to defend our "western way of life". And so on.
