	Boston.com / News / World / Chirac seeks law to ban headscarves
		But Chirac yesterday went further than the commission, saying private businesses should be allowed to ban their Muslim employees from wearing headscarves "for reasons of security or client contact," and patients at public hospitals should not be allowed to refuse treatment from doctors of the opposite sex.
		By proposing a new nationwide ban on headscarves and other religious items, Chirac was hoping to settle a debate between diversity and equality that has raged here on and off for the last 15 years, as immigration from Muslim countries has soared, making Islam now the country's second-largest religion.
		Valerie Offenberg, the French representative of the American Jewish Committee in France, said the ban was likely to rile all the major religious organizations, while ignoring the root problem, which was the difficulty of Muslim integration into French society.
