American Crusade

How do we make all nations Christian nationalists? And they put those theological distinctions kind of on the back burner.

So that then explains why Hegsoth has these tattoos valorizing the medieval crusades and that he wrote a book titled American Crusade.

He did.

So he really wants to put the Muslims to the sword, right?

Most prominently, Pete Hegseth, the self-declared Secretary of War.

Hegseth has literal crusader tattoos, and he wrote a book called American Crusade in which he portrayed China, socialism, and Islam as the three great threats to US global dominance as part of what he called a holy war.

That's the literal term that he used in this book.

And he said proudly that the US empire is waging a new crusade against China, socialism slash communism, and Islam.

He has three crusader tattoos on his body.

He wrote a book titled "American Crusade" in which he lovingly refers to some of the worst episodes in Christian history, the worst episodes of Christendom and Christian imperialism, where Christians went with no instigation, with, with, with no, no, no d- clear defense.

This was not a...

These were not defensive wars.

Absolutely.

And, you know, I was going to pull one of my Hegseth books off the shelf and didn't have a chance before we talked, but I did pull up an article from The Guardian from 2024, actually, by Jason Wilson, in which he talks about Hegseth's book, An American Crusade.

And I just want to read a little bit of that summary, because this is getting at what you're talking about, Diana.

And it's really chilling.

Yeah,

that wasn't ever raised, even, Jamar.

And he wrote entire books.

Yeah.

But they don't realize that when they vote for Trump and they're approving of Hegseth and Hegseth is in the Pentagon using psalms and worship every month to promote a war against Islam.

And, you know, following a book that he wrote called American Crusade, where he talked about a warring against Islam and specifically Iran, like you're complicit in that, whether you're whether you have awareness of it or not.

Yeah.

Yeah.
