Actually this law is not only for head scarves but as I heard from our civilization teacher it also extends to any visible symbol, which could mean crosses, jewish headwear (can't remember suddenly what they are called) and certain political symbols also, so I would say that it is not certainly a discrimination against muslims, although certainly they were the prime target to the law.
Also you could note that had this law not been made it would have stayed as difficult as it had been before for people from different cultures / religions to mix with each other, therefore them being equal.
Also technically in France everyone should be equal, which coincides with one of the fundamental theories of muslim peoples religion, that men are superior to women. So basically for France it was a human rights against religion debate where both sides were right in their own way.
