As mentioned, this was not accepted by gedolim. However just to address the “Muslim” garb issue, it is not really a burka. It is a full body shawl. It gives a similar impression as a burka, but it is not “chukas hagoyim” or “looking like Muslims”. This is the same (small) group of mishugaim who throw stones down the hill at another frum community who they feel doesn’t maintain a high enough standard of tznius, so it’s not really surprising. . .
