Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s latest tattoo is triggering Muslim activists.

In photos circulating across social media, Hegseth appears to have a new tattoo that says “kafir”, an Arabic term used by Muslims to describe unbelievers.

The choice of tattoo has triggered Muslim activists, who have accused Hegseth of being Islamaphobic.

“This is the normalization of Islamophobia at the highest levels of power,” wrote the pro-Palestinian activist Nerdeen Kiswani on X.
