Austria must prevent by any means possible the existence of separate migrant communities living parallel to society, refusing to accept Austrian values, a politician and former member of the European Parliament told Sputnik Thursday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik), Daria Chernyshova — The issue of radicalization of migrants in Europe has become particularly acute following January's Islamist shootings at the office of the Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris, killing 12 people.

“We can accept each immigration if the people are ready to integrate in our society and accept our rules and our values. But they do not, and they want to make parallel society with Sharia as the fundament of values. We cannot accept it and we have to organize resistance against,” Ewald Johann Stadler said.

On Wednesday, the Islamic State jihadist group released their first video in German, calling on Muslims in Austria and Germany to come to ISIL-held territories or wage lone-wolf attacks at home.

“I think that European societies especially the German society, have to answer this question – are we ready to accept parallel societies with completely different values to our traditional and European values. Or we are not ready to accept it,” Stadler said.

“The problem is not the Islamic community in Austria. The problem is who finances these groups. I think there are very open financial routes from Saudi Arabia and Qatar to these groups. These are the allied partners of the United States if America. And the main question is what is the role of the USA, or Turkey in these groups,” Stadler said.

Stadler, now a private lawyer, stressed that Islamic radicalization in Austrian communities was relatively minor compared to other countries.
