I’m not of the culture, but I’ve had fellow students from that background explain it to me this way: The practice was around before Islam and wasn’t regarded as ‘Islamic’ until after western colonialists started taking over large parts of the region in the 19th century. Most less conservative Moslems still don’t think of it as an Islamic practice. And actually, among some people like the Tuareg, it IS the men who cover up and not the women.
