I spent a few weeks there 3 years ago. It was getting pretty bad in Berlin then, I can’t imagine how bad it is now. There might have been a lot of regular German stuff going on, but it was behind closed doors.

A friend of mine from NZ/AU moved to Berlin.

He’s having a hard time getting around being a foreigner. He speaks German pretty well but is still treated like an outsider.

I was in Berlin for eight days back in April 2014. I walked all over the place. I took subways and a few buses. I looked for a Muslim presence but never saw any. I looked for Berlin Mosques on the Internet and found three on the periphery of the city.

When one walks around New York City and listens to random conversations, no more than half are in English. When I listened to random conversations in Berlin, they were all in German except for obvious tourists.
