Personally I find it intimidating.
Humans read a lot about what someone is thinking by being able to see someones face.
If you go to some muslim countries, in say, North Africa you will not see muslim women dressed in the way that they dress here.
Maybe it is a bit of 'humble bragging'(signifying a devout muslim...except it isn't a requirement of the faith).
The trouble is wi them burkas, it could be a terrorist with an Uzi sub machine gun hiding behind it, the sooner it and the wearers are banned the better
