Updated AnswerWearing Burka is not an Islamic requirement. Wearing Burka comes out from some local cultures and traditions. However, wearing Burka is not rejected by religion. What is mandatory in Islam is to wear cloth that covers the whole body, including hair, except the face and the hands. That cloth:
  • should not be so tight to describe the woman body or sexy parts, and
  • should not be so transparent to make the under cloth visible.
The part of the cloth covering the head (and hair) but not the face is called Hijab.

Answer

They wear Burka because they are commanded by Islam to cover their bodies and not to show it to any outsider person. For this reason, Muslim women use various methods to cover their bodies. Some use scarves, some veils, and some Burka; the basic objective remains the same.

Do you need to wear a scarf to be a Muslim?

Yes because when you convert to Islam it means that you are committed to follow the rules. the whole reason for the headscarf is that 1. its not all about beauty, its about personality, if a man loves a women for her beauty it would be called animalistic Love, Islam is against animalistic love. 2. Hijaab is for respect, if you go out wearing a short skirt and a tight top and a man goes past you and checks you out in a sexual way then that's not respect is it?, Hijaab is a responsibility, when you reach puberty you are responsible to hide your beauty. By the way most women in the west get raped for showing there beauty alot. So when you wear Hijaab its like your trying to say that i do not want to be touched or disrespected. No there is in fact no rule in the actual religion that expects Muslim women to wear a head scarf. There are many Muslim women that do not wear a head scarf. For example Turkey is a largely Muslim country and the headscarf is not permitted in many places there.In places where every woman does, many do so because of intimidation __________________________________________________________ Although it is requirement to cover your head, hair, and neck by wearing Hijab (or head scarf) but to be a Muslim without wearing Hijab is more statisfactory than not being Muslim at all.
