Because the religion doesn't force them to do it at all - it's up to their interpretation of the Quran. I'm sure the more extreme wings of Islam - the sunni people, for example - would enforce it upon women but that's just a sad fact of life until their minds join the 21st century. Forcing them to conform to our ways isn't going to do anything other than encourage the whole West/Muslim divide, and is literally just as authoritarian and dismissive of women's choice as the religion we're supposedly frowning upon. There're plenty of Muslims that dress how the west would consider 'normal' - I don't think I've ever seen anyone in a "Burkini" before this story broke - and telling people how to dress on a beach whilst allowing nudist beaches to exist is just all kinds of idiotic.
