To clarify my comment: like Judaism and Christianity, Islam is considered an Abrahamic religion.
Of course educated people are quite aware of the fact that Islam does not recognize the representation of Abraham in the Bible, which Adnan clearly referenced. An ignorant person wouldn't recognize that obvious fact. Now back to my search for someone capable of intellectual debate. Anyone?

By definition, the U.S. is not an empire. While they may exert influence on other nations, they do not exercise dominion over them.
Okay, but considering about 80% of those listed are uninhabited , I still don't think that qualifies the U.S. as an empire. If you use that list as your measuring stick, then Britain is still considered an empire: British overseas territories[^].

Do other Americans in other Countries have similar experiences?
My son just returned from a two week tour of Europe and England, he reported no abuse of any kind, but was traveling with a large group of other Americans, so didn't have the chance to interact with any of the locals on a one-on-one basis.

Ms Cox, 29, says she has been called, among other things, "terrorist", "scum", "low life", and feels that she is constantly being held to account for the actions of President Bush and for US foreign policy. Altering one[^] of stan's post: The simple point remains that if a billion muslims majority of Americans refused to tolerate Neocons' terrorism on the level it currently exists amoung Islamic Neocons radicals, such terrorism hatred simply could not continue to exist. However she adds: "Bush is our leader and I respect that. It's a bit like the way you feel about your father. You don't always agree with him, but you would defend him." *No Comments*. BTW,How many pro Bush consider him a *daddy*?

Hmmmm.... I don't like Tony Blair. If I'm abroad and someone starts commenting on how much they dislike TB I'll heartely agree with them. I would never defend him just because he "is our leader". It isn't how I feel about my father either. I just think she's got a strange set of sensibilities - which is her choice, and she takes the consequences of that choice.

But when traveling it is customary for non-Europeans to distinquish between them. To be accurate, his group went to London, Paris, some place in Austria, some place in Switzerland, Venice and some place in Germany. "You have no concept of the depth and complexity of my beliefs." Jim A. Johnson

Four million Puerto Ricans may disagree with that assessment. And the population of Guam alone almost equals the combined population of all British territories. But I agree, on the whole the U.S. is barely an empire if it is one at all.
