Washington, D.C. – President Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, is facing intense criticism for his past anti-Muslim remarks. His 2020 book, American Crusade, paints Islam as a historical adversary of the West, leading to concerns about his ability to fairly oversee U.S. military operations in Muslim-majority regions. Civil rights groups and international allies have condemned his rhetoric, warning that such views could escalate tensions in the Middle East.
