Kadyrov and Mezhiev do not react to terror acts in Vienna

Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov and Salakh Mezhiev, the republic's Mufti, who were actively commenting on the murder of the teacher in France, did not react to the terror acts in Vienna. The authorities of the European countries cannot cope with the influx of Muslim refugees and do not take into account their religious specifics, political analysts note.

On November 2, a series of attacks with shooting took place in the Austrian capital. One of the gunmen was killed. He was a supporter of the "Islamic State" (IS, a terrorist organization, banned in Russia by the court, – note of the "Caucasian Knot"). Four persons have been killed in the terror act.

"Europe strongly condemns this cowardly terror act that violates life and our human values," stated Charles Michel, President of the European Council, as quoted by the TASS.

Political analyst Aleksei Malashenko associates the recent terror acts in Europe with a large number of Muslim migrants in the European countries, especially in France, who cannot be assimilated to local cultural traditions.

According to the "MBKh-Media", the expert has also added that terrorism is an extreme form of conflict between cultures and civilizations.

In Europe, terrorism has moved into the phase of individual terror, and the reasons for that "were developing during a long time" and are associated with the influx of refugees, says political analyst Fyodor Lukianov.

"Emmanuel Macron's statements that Islam is in crisis and France will not allow Islamic separatism causes nothing, but irritation among Muslims," Fyodor Lukianov said as quoted by the newspaper "Vzglyad" (Opinion).
