The Right to Misogynistic Headwear is Not a Right Worth Protecting

I was surfing the blogosphere today (in my pyjamas, no less!) and came across a blog apparently run by Canadian sci-fi up-and-comer Cory Doctorow and his friends. While perusing its many wonderful links, I came across an article by some Arabian poet about why France is justified in banning hajibs. I wanted to support the legislation because I'm an evangelical atheist but I was having trouble reconciling with my libertarianism and patriotic pro-multiculturalism until I read this article.
