Trump Pentagon pick Pete Hegseth’s books foreground anti-Muslim rhetoric
Hegseth’s conspiracy theory- and falsehood-laden book American Crusade depicts Islam as historic enemy of west
Summary
Trump’s Pentagon nominee, Pete Hegseth, faces criticism for promoting anti-Muslim rhetoric and far-right conspiracy theories in his books, notably American Crusade.
Hegseth depicts Islam as an existential threat to the West, distorts Islamic doctrine, and links Muslim immigration to “great replacement” theories.
He also scapegoats Muslims and leftists as colluding to undermine the U.S.
Critics, including historians and sociologists, refute his narratives as false and harmful.
Hegseth’s nomination raises concerns about his influence on U.S. military policy, particularly in the Middle East, and his disregard for international norms like the Geneva Conventions.
