Yes, the officially Islamic nations are really the only places that are very comparable in that way....although they're quite different, of course, an entirely different kind of society and tradition from the USA.

That makes the conflict between the USA and the Islamic people all the more nasty too, because religion is used to whip people up and get them in a fighting mood...on both sides. Mind you, if it wasn't religion, it would be some other excuse, because the real origin of this fight goes back to the West's desire to control key oil-producing areas through a group of powerful oil companies. It started with the UK in the Middle East (British Petroleum - BP), and the USA has since the end of WWII taken over as the main player, with the UK playing a much secondary role, but still playing.
