i wonder what you might say if there is a time that your people would need to experience such a thing..
No. Lest you forget, Japan was an aggressor against the US, attacking US soil as few other enemies have. When we are attacked on our soil, we let out a fury unknown to man. Should some wayward nation explode a nuclear weapon on our soil, that nation would be annihilated so that no living thing would stand.

In the history of world superpowers, we are the most benign. People in our domain actually care about the welfare of others. Not all, but at least some.

You can outside of Islamic Renaissance point to no period when Islamic principles benefit man in general.

US principles of economics, representative government and technology benefit all nations. Is there also harm? Of course.

But the net effect of Islam is currently harmful.
