42:18Now PlayingU.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is under fire again—this time for a tattoo that reads “kafir,” an Arabic term for non-believer, which some critics say sends an unmistakable message of “Islamophobic” provocation. The tattoo, revealed during a March visit to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, sparked a wave of outrage from Muslim American advocates and civil rights groups. “This isn’t just a personal choice; it’s a clear symbol of Islamophobia from the man overseeing U.S. wars,” said activist Nerdeen Kiswani. Hegseth, already controversial for past tattoos like the Crusader’s cross and the phrase Deus Vult, is now facing accusations of promoting far-right “crusader aesthetics” and importing those views into U.S. defense policy. CAIR’s Executive Director Nihad Awad added, “Tattooing the Arabic word kafir… is a display of both anti-Muslim hostility and personal insecurity.” While Hegseth has not responded to the backlash, the controversy once again raises questions about ideology and power at the highest levels of the U.S. military.
