A little while ago an RCMP officer in Canada was allowed to wear his turban instead of the usual hat RCMP officers wear. I dont have anything against someone wearing a turbon, but RCMP officers and what the wear is a symbol of Canada. A turban is not.

I will not be offended. When someone asks for an exception to the rules based on religious beliefs im the kind of person that says let them do it.
I'm not sure what an RCMP officer is.....but if he is like our state police here then there is a rule that states they must wear their hats whenever enforcing the law......they pull someone over, they have to have the hat on. The hat itself is what identifies a state policeman......this RCMP officer....i imagine its probably the same. I wouldnt have allowed it, and would be upset that it was allowed.
but, is the example you gave why you are upset with immigrants and their cultures not conforming?
