Berlin arsons were in Moabit which is near Tiergarten (old West Berlin). Small part of Berlin. I have no idea if there are many foreigners there.

Is there rioting? Or just an isolated case?

Foreigners, almost all of them. Only in the daytime you can see a few Germans there, but they don't live there: They work in one of those new technology parks that have been built right in the middle of that hellhole. I am one of these, actually, so I drive or walk through Moabit every day. The ministry of the interior is just around the corner; when I heard of the torched cars last night, my first thought was how sad it was that Otto Schily is leaving that ministry in Moabit now. Rioting Muslims would have been his responsibility, and while I normally can't stand SPD politicians, Schily is a guy who certainly would have known how to deal with them properly.

Ah, what the heck. I bet it was just a handful of Turkish rap fans who had a bit too much of that beer they bought from their welfare money that I have to pay so much taxes for.

Moabit is in former West Berlin and has a high number of Turkish nationals. Turks comprise the biggest foreign minority in Berlin, numbering 118 000 out of a total population of 3.4 million, according to official figures.
