Well... It's almost as if Islam spans so many distinct cultures and each with its own local traditions... Idk why people think Muslim identity is a monolith...

Also the hijab doesn't include face veiling, outside of some areas the vast majority of muslim nations don't require face covering. Its just a fashion style taking over a lot of places.

In Somalia for example there is nothing stopping women from wearing no hijab at all, some don't bother with it, yet the majority of Somali women are wearing niqab right now because the arabs made it tready.
