U.S. Ambassador to the Netherlands Peter Hoekstra apologized after claiming that there are parts of the Netherlands too dangerous to go to due to Muslim immigration.

"Looking back, I am shocked I said that," he told the newspaper. "It was a wrong statement. It was wrong."

It was wrong! Wrong!

Hmmmm. Sounds like a "DOH!" moment when a truism sneaks out. So pete are there isolated pockets of s**thollery or not with in certain areas of the Netherlands. Kinda thinkin' yeah, there are. Probably the same in gay paris, london, nyc, la...... the list goes on. Maybe not as bad as say, mumbai, but who determines the degree/severity of a particular s**thole anyway?

The last paragraph of the article:

"It's ironic that with all the problems Islam is causing in the Netherlands, the Dutch media should be focused on getting our ambassador to apologize for pointing out the problem rather than on addressing it. The Dutch are so politically correct that they would rather be destroyed from within than offend the ones trying to eliminate them."

In a time of universal deceit, speaking the truth is a revolutionary act.

From 2013...

Dutch anxiety over ‘Sharia triangle’ police no-go area in The Hague Area two kilometres from city centre has become ‘orthodox Muslim territory’ largely ignored by authorities

The media bubble overseas is very thick and nearly unpoppable.

Then the diplomat added: `There for a moment I let my guard down and the truth slipped out.
‘Ooops! I did it again.’
Forget it Pete. The Kenyan ain’t running the zoo anymore.

Also from 2013...

If It Happened in the Hague, It Can Happen Anywhere There are 1.4 square miles where Sharia rules in the Hague. And not only there.

As discussed elsewhere, here is George Carlin on the importance of using words that don't conceal reality.

In this new world order there are far too many pusillanimous piss ants afraid of their own thoughts; so many nations (shi!holes) are dying on the vine infected with wretched stinking political correctness.

I don’t think we will ever hear Trump apologize for assaulting PC by speaking his mind with bravado.

From 2017...

Jeugd in Haagse Schilderswijk bekogelt agenten, schreeuwt Allah akbar

When the police dropped off the crossroads for investigation, 'young people' came to call Allah akbar, throwing rocks, riots and even throwing a toilet bowl.

Per Google translate.
