Burka and Hijab are two different things. As far as the Hijab is concerned, it's just a headscarf and that has an equally strong and old tradition in some rural regions of Central- and Southern Europe. It's less popular than it was some 30 years ago, but especially older women still wear it. Same as the Hijab it's also originally based in religion.
The Burka is a different matter. While I agree that banning cloths isn't the way to go, it's often forced on the wearer. And whenever something is forced on anyone, it is a form of degradation.
