Pete Hegseth, US Defense Secretary, Has a New Tattoo Written in Arabic Declaring Himself a ‘Kafir.’

♱ Pete Hegseth Got a New Tattoo in Arabic. Here's What It Means

‘Kafir,’ (Jew + Christian) = an Enemy of Islam

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has ignited controversy after revealing a previously unnoticed tattoo on his right forearm that reads "" (kafir) in Arabic—a word that translates to "infidel" or "nonbeliever."

Hegseth's tattoo was visible for the first time on Wednesday during a visit to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii. The official X, formerly Twitter, account of the Secretary of Defense shared photos of him interacting with soldiers, prompting several social media users to point out the tattoo—leading to accusations of Islamophobia...

The discovery sparked anger from activists who are already infuriated about his tattoos featuring Christian and American images.

His chest tattoo of a Jerusalem Cross previously sparked controversy after he was nominated for Defense Secretary as Democrats claimed it was a Christian right-wing extremist symbol.

Hegseth said he was denied a chance to serve in a secure detail in his National Guard unit in Washington DC because of that tattoo.

'I was deemed an extremist because of a tattoo by my National Guard unit in Washington, D.C., and my orders were revoked to guard the Biden inauguration… a Jerusalem cross tattoo which is just a Christian symbol,' he told podcaster Shawn Ryan in an interview.

It comes as he is facing mounting pressure to resign after sharing detailed Yemen strike plans in a group text CHAT with other Trump officials on the Signal app.

✞ Christians Need To Revive The Crusades: They Were Necessary Then – And They Are Necessary Now!

People who bite the hand that feeds them usually lick the boot that kicks them. The Muslims are always either at your throat or at your feet.

The Crusades to the East were in every way defensive wars. They were a direct response to Muslim aggression—an attempt to turn back or defend against Muslim conquests of Christian lands.

Christians in the eleventh century were not paranoid fanatics. Muslims really were gunning for them. While Muslims can be peaceful, Islam was born in war and grew the same way. From the time of Mohammed, the means of Muslim expansion was always the sword. Muslim thought divides the world into two spheres, the Abode of Islam and the Abode of War. Christianity—and for that matter any other non-Muslim religion—has no abode. Christians and Jews can be tolerated within a Muslim state under Muslim rule. But, in traditional Islam, Christian and Jewish states must be destroyed and their lands conquered. When Mohammed was waging war against Mecca in the seventh century, Christianity was the dominant religion of power and wealth. As the faith of the Roman Empire, it spanned the entire Mediterranean, including the Middle East, where it was born. The Christian world, therefore, was a prime target for the earliest caliphs, and it would remain so for Muslim leaders for the next thousand years.

With enormous energy, the warriors of Islam struck out against the Christians shortly after Mohammed’s death. They were extremely successful. Palestine, Syria, and Egypt—once the most heavily Christian areas in the world—quickly succumbed. By the eighth century, Muslim armies had conquered all of Christian North Africa and Spain. In the eleventh century, the Seljuk Turks conquered Asia Minor (modern Turkey), which had been Christian since the time of St. Paul. The old Roman Empire, known to modern historians as the Byzantine Empire, was reduced to little more than Greece. In desperation, the emperor in Constantinople sent word to the Christians of western Europe asking them to aid their brothers and sisters in the East.

That is what gave birth to the Crusades. They were not the brainchild of an ambitious pope or rapacious knights but a response to more than four centuries of conquests in which Muslims had already captured two-thirds of the old Christian world. At some point, Christianity as a faith and a culture had to defend itself or be subsumed by Islam. The Crusades were that defense.

It is often assumed that the central goal of the Crusades was forced conversion of the Muslim world. Nothing could be further from the truth. From the perspective of medieval Christians, Muslims were the enemies of Christ and His Church. It was the Crusaders’ task to defeat and defend against them. That was all. Muslims who lived in Crusader-won territories were generally allowed to retain their property and livelihood, and always their religion. Indeed, throughout the history of the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem, Muslim inhabitants far outnumbered the Catholics. It was not until the 13th century that the Franciscans began conversion efforts among Muslims. But these were mostly unsuccessful and finally abandoned. In any case, such efforts were by peaceful persuasion, not the threat of violence.
