Trump Pentagon pick Pete Hegseth’s books foreground anti-Muslim rhetoric

[Hetty ter Haar]

Hegseth, especially in 2020’s American Crusade, depicts Islam as a natural, historic enemy of the west; presents distorted versions of Muslim doctrine in “great replacement”-style racist conspiracy theories; treats leftists and Muslims as bound together in their efforts to subvert the US; and idolises medieval crusaders.

Experts say that Hegseth’s view of Islam is riven with falsehoods, misconceptions and far-right conspiracy theories. Yet Hegseth, if his nomination is successful, will head the world’s largest military force at a time of conflict and instability in the Middle East.

Oh, THE GUARDIAN, the dogmatic “guardian” of a British form of “DOGMATISM,” is 9/11 not ALSO a FACE of Islam just as Christianity has its equivalent faces? Is there any religion morally innocent in any of its history (in the sacrificing the blood of others? The history of every major religion is full of the wasted blood of (mostly) others. Secular or religious wars COST millions or even zillions of Benjamins (in long run). 

As for pidgin and THE so-called King’s (or queen’s) or as in the context in question (the so-called “language” of the Naija elite) note that speakers of the “elite” language ALSO in general know pidgin English (although not necessarily vice versa). But both speakers know where the Naija bodies are buried and that’s what matters the most. I appreciate the “articulattion” powers  of both.
