It is not islaamic, it is cultural. The Q'rahn states that a woman after puberty shall cover her hair and her body from neck to wrists and ankles. When asked about the veil or the burka, very many Moslems will state, incorrectly that it is a requirement of Islaam, and/or the Q'rahn. Others will say, entirely correctly, that Islaam requires modesty of every Moslem and the veil or burka are a commitment to total modesty in public - a very devout act.
