Turkey is mostly Muslim --- and they don't wear the headgear, it isn't required by the religion. I know --- I've worked with -- Muslims and they did not wear the headgear, nor any kind of burkas while in the USA --- they were forced to wear them when going back for visits to Iran --- not because they weren't Muslims without the headgear in the USA --- but because the radicals demand they be worn. The burka is part of radical Islam --- not moderate Islam.

"Turkey is mostly Muslim --- and they don't wear the headgear"

Turkey banned it in schools a while back.

"burkas"

That's a complete covering. The headgear in the story is not radical, it is the traditional headgear.
