Perhaps he chose his words poorly but I interpreted it in a much different way. He said that women should be allowed to wear what they want, which includes the ol' rags. If that right is taken away, it impedes on a woman's right to wear what she wants. In order to show solidatory he posed all women should wear a headscarf.
Either in The Netherlands or Belgium a gay couple was recently beaten up quite badly after they were seen walking down the street holding hands. After that happened all men were encouraged to hold hands in public to show solidarity and send a message. That doesn't mean the intention was for all men to become homosexual and hold hands in perpetuity.
I don't think he meant that all women should start wearing the headscarf period, rather he thinks it would be necessary for all women to wear a headscarf as one-off statement.
I think that makes a lot more sense within the context. It sufficiently explains everything he said and it makes sense as a statement. Considering what he said before I don't think it makes any sort of sense that he would end his point by saying all women should wear a headscarf period. That interpretation does of course fit nicely into the narrative that you're looking for. There are more than enough real issues concerning Islam, it's really not necessary to misinterpret these type of statements or create "fake news".
