Peter Brian Hegseth is an American former Army National Guard officer, television presenter, and author who has served as the 29th United States secretary of defense since 2025.
The Guardian —The US secretary of defense Pete Hegseth has a tattoo that appears to read “infidel” or “non-believer” in Arabic, according to recently posted photos on his social media account.
In photos posted on Tuesday on X, the Fox News host turned US defense secretary had what appears to be a tattoo that says “kafir”, an Arabic term used within Islam to describe an unbeliever. Hegseth appears to have also had the tattoo in another Instagram photo posted in July 2024.
Some people on social media criticized Hegseth for getting a tattoo that could be considered offensive to Muslims, especially as the US military seeks to represent a diverse pool of faiths. It is estimated that upwards of 5,000 to 6,000 US military members practice Islam.

It means “infidel”
Nice tattoo looks like Microsoft paint was used
We must stand against islam. Islam will see our daughters raped.
This isn’t the European Caliphate of France, Germany and the UK. He still has the right to get that tatted on him.
So he doesn’t believe in Islam.. who cares?
Though i think its “somewhat” disturbing, i mean he is technically a kafir (he doesnt believe in or like Islam)… so whatever i guess
So?
I think everyone can agree he’s not a bright man who makes good choices
Yeah he’s a piece of shit nazi. Nothing new here. Hope all his kind take a long drop with a short stop.
Who gives a fuck?
I don’t see the problem. Do I think he should have the job? No, he shouldn’t, but this tattoo isn’t offensive.
**Submission Statement**
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has revealed a new tattoo reading “kafir” (كافر), Arabic for “infidel,” inked just beneath his “DEUS VULT” tattoo.
People downplaying this but holy fuck is it concerning. Combined with his “Deus Vult” and Jerusalem Cross tattoo, you can tell this guy jacks off to fantasies of himself leading crusades into the holy land to slaughter Muslims. And he’s in charge of our Department of Defense…
So? Islam is an enemy of the west. People need to realize this.
