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.
