Some women in islamic culture feel coersed to use the Hijab out of fear of reprisesals. In the Koran it doesn't actually say anything about the religious need to wear a head scarf.
oh theres something I forgot to add--I like to be very informative. Apparently wearing the hijab can be consider as cultural imperialism because The use of a the Hijab or Head Scarf in its many different forms was traditionally worn by Muslim women which has become very populous throughout todays modern Islamic community. It originates from Arabian 'Tribal Communities' where it was designed to uphold a womans 'dignity'. In today's mordernised world only 20% of the Islamic community is actually Arab which begs the question of the nessecity to wearing the Hijab by people whom do not partain to that group can be considered as cultural impirialism.
Oh yeah, you really have to respect someones beliefs, I don't feel that buraq is so outwardly disrespectful or offensive--not to show your face. But personally I have to admit that I would prefer to engague some on 'face to face' basis even though I don't know them, it's just a inate human need to want to communicate with some by looking at their face, but thats just my view.
at least in the US it's not permissable to discriminate against someone because of their religion and the requirements thereof. That being said, personally, I judge a lot of a persons reaction to what I'm saying and what's going on by their eyes, so I'd like being able to see her eyes, but would I think she couldn't do her job if she was wearing a Burqah rather than a Niqāb or Al-amira? no, it would just be harder to gauge her reactions without speech.
Cultural Imperialism: Traditionally the hijab was worn by Arabian Tribal group, today only 20% of Muslimes are Arabian.

Updater: I changed 'is appropriate' to 'is permissible'.
