Genuine question for Muslims of the fediverse.

I generally try to be friendly to strangers, particular those who strike me as more likely to get negative looks and comments from the majority population in Aotearoa. When I come across women wearing Muslim style head coverings in public places, I usually smile in greeting, and maybe say "kia ora". But ...

Could I be making these women uncomfortable, and would it be politer to ignore them?

@strypey would a gentle nod of the head be less challenging and equally friendly?
