German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said the wearing of full-faced veils should be prohibited in the country "wherever it is legally possible".

At a meeting of her CDU party, she backed a burka ban in schools, courts and other state buildings.

It is widely accepted that a total ban would violate Germany's constitution.

Seems like nobody likes the burqa in Europe. No wonder, since burqa is symbol of radical Islam.

Smart move from Merkel, making her final moves for the elections next year.

Right now the list of burqa bans in europe: Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria.
I'm surprised no more countries have it banned, especially Denmark.

Morocco - next country to follow suit?

Morocco has banned the sale, production and import of the burka, according to local reports.

Letters announcing the ban were sent out on Monday, giving businesses 48 hours to get rid of their stock, the reports stated.

There was no official announcement from the government, but unnamed officials told outlets the decision was made due to "security concerns".

It is unclear if Morocco is now intending to ban the garment outright.
