Can a female wear the HIJAB (Islamic head veil/scarf/towel) and still be culturally Western?

I do not think so personally but maybe.

When I travel to some Western European countries or America, I sometimes see white women with these things on and it is strange. But religion can reach across ethnicity and background

Western Culture aka Anglo-Germania culture has nothing in common with Balkan-Anatolian culture except for those who want to imitate Anglo-Americans.

Hijab isn’t welcome in Western Culture while here on Balkans we have traditionally similar clothings for those who wish to wear that thing.

Balkan and even Modern Anatolian culture heavily relies on Byzantine Orthodox traditions while Muslims mix those with some Turcisms.

Western Culture =\ Balkan Culture

Veil, those covering your face, is disgusting and should be banned, both for security matters and symbolizing a tyrannical ideology (not necessarily Islam as a whole, since many Muslims are not like that).

As for headscarf, I have less issues with it than I used to be. I grew up in a family that has very little to do with this kind of stuff and I generally saw conservatively dressed people as aliens, but since I got to meet some of these people later on it made me realize that not every one of them is shallow-minded and there can be stuff you have in common with too. So, for me, they are okay. Even though, I have to admit, I find the sight of it unappealing.
