There's no doubt that the concept as a whole is indeed based in the religion. It seems to be the concept of modesty though. Different people (within Islam) call different things modest. Some say a burka (niqab) is required, some say just a hijab. In fact, in the first link posted, the source says that the niqab is optional.
