It is relevant in that the headscarf is a symbolic issue in immigration debates in Germany. The biggest ethnic minority in Germany are the descendents of turkish migratory workers.
It's a symbol of conservative muslim faith (in the eyes of Germans) and subjugation of women in general. Most muslim organizations and German politicians with a turkish background actually appeal to fellow muslims not to wear headscarves.
My point was that there is no widespread refusal of integration, and that misogyny in muslim Germans is usually exaggerated. I didn't want to explain that too thoroughly because the post would have been even longer.
