The ultra-right mayor of a Hungarian village has banned Muslims from wearing traditional dress and issuing a call to prayer in what he describes as a 'war against Muslim culture'.

In doing so, Laszlo Toroczkai said he hopes to attract other Christian Europeans who object to multiculturalism in their own countries to migrate to Ásotthalom on the Hungarian border with Serbia.

'We primarily welcome people from western Europe - people who wouldn't like to live in a multicultural society,' Toroczkai told the BBC. 'We wouldn't like to attract Muslims to the village.'

At the height of the refugee crisis, as many as 10,000 people crossed the border from Serbia into Hungary every day - with the crossing point just minutes fromÁsotthalom

The village is in a remote location in the southern Hungarian plains, about two hours from capital Budapest.

'It's very important for the village to preserve its traditions. If large numbers of Muslims arrived here, they would not be able to integrate into the Christian community.

'We can see large Muslim communities in western Europe that haven't been able to integrate - and we don't want to have the same experience here,' he says. 'I'd like Europe to belong to Europeans, Asia to belong to Asians and Africa to belong to Africans. Simple as that.'

Recent migration has stoked anti-immigrant feeling in Hungary, and across eastern Europe.

At the height of the refugee crisis, as many as 10,000 people crossed the border from Serbia into Hungary every day - with the crossing point just minutes from Ásotthalom.

In the intimidating film, the mayor begins by speaking directly into the camera with his warning message.

Action-movie style music is then played in the background as a simulated chase sequence filmed from the air - featuring a motorbike, a helicopter and two thick-set men on horseback - takes place.

Migrants are told they will be arrested and could face prison if they are caught trying to enter the country illegally.

The bizarre footage closes with Toroczkai standing in a field wearing Terminator-style shades, surrounded by burly border guards in camouflage as the music ends.

He then uses Google Maps to show how the land route from Serbia to Germany is longer through Hungary than Croatia and Slovenia.
