Which countries?
Iran and Saudi Arabia. In Saudi, they all wore hijabs, and most wore niqabs as well. In Iran, this wasn't so when I lived there, in the mid-70s. I lived in Teheran, a city of five million at the time, for over four years ... so I had much opportunity to see the various ways Muslims interpreted their own dogma. For instance, extremely pious Muslims would, on the last day of Ramadan, go into the streets and beat themselves bloody with chains and scourges, as an act of expiation ... and while they were doing that, others would be walking by in Western dress taking no notice of them.
Here's a street scene taken in Teheran in the early 70s (not my picture):
Now, I'm betting you're thinking, "Ah, but they had that revolution in Iran, and things are different now!" And yes, they are, but it rather proves my point, because it was a change in government, not a change in the religion of the citizens, which prompted the more restrictive laws.

Fucking kidding me? Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, etc.
There are those as well, but I think he was asking after my own personal experience..
