Do Islamist women wear niqabs?

Muslim women in Islamist countries typically have to wear headcoverings, but not necessarily niqabs. Iranian women, for example, wear the chador which leaves the lower face (usually covered by the niqab) visible, even though it covers the hair and chest. Islamism is a political philosophy, not a religion. Islam is the religion, whose laws and beliefs Islamism seeks to establish as the base legal system in numerous countries.
