I forgot most of you won't have passports... The only way you can travel the world is if you join up.
That said, of course, it is completely true most Americans will not admit to being Americans if asked even in places like Egypt if alone.
It is a funny state of affairs the fear the actions of your Government have put individuals under and I do understand why you would all want to make light of it.
It can't be much fun to have a big target painted on you due to stupid actions in the name of monetary gain.
You can try and deny this all you like, but why not put your money where your mouths are come out and visit me as Americans... Say the things you say online about Islam etc and we'll go to say Nigeria or Sudan for you to say them.
I know a lot of good Americans who work for me who often won't admit to being Americans and they have passports.
You may not like it and it may not fit with your worldview, but the reason your Embassies have to have so much security is the same reason many Americans won't travel.
For some reason Brits behave differently and are treated differently, don't ask me why, we don't deserve the historical respect we get as individuals in any nation either.
Lol Steve did your government pull some MK Ultra type shit on you bro?

No, I just have a passport and decided to show people in regions where they don't like westerners much not all of us are scared of them or hate them or want to kill them. It's always a risk to go to people in friendship hoping you can help change things through mutual understanding and diplomacy, but like I said, why would most people want to kill someone they have not met... (Usually because of the acts of their Government and Military). Oh, that was me paraphrasing the great Muhammad Ali about why he wouldn't join up for Vietnam but would fight anyone in the ring as an individual. Words to live by.
Interesting. Did you ever ask any of them why they follow such an awful religion? Get back to me with their answers, I'd be curious to know.

The people to look out for are the kind of people we'd mutually hate, imo.
For example, I think anyone regardless of race agrees if you're not a skinhead or a blood, you're probably not going to get along too well with them..

Now there is a true keyboard warrior and every internet comment like that creates the climate of hate many people hold in their hearts and reinforces poor opinions fo the west and America in particular and could potentially lead to another incident like the guy getting chopped up for being an American in Niger. Which was incredibly sad. It also leads to wars like the one that was lost in Afghanistan by America and Britain where nothing was gained and now the Taliban are again part of the future Government process as they were before the intervention. Nothing was gained for the west except dead Yanks and Brits.
No, the keyboard warrior is the one going "come meet me in the Sudan" lol.
And comments like that lead to an american getting chopped up? Nothing else? The horror that is Islam played no part?

No, a true Keyboard Warrior propagates hate on the internet. I propagate peace but am unafraid of the "different" in real life and yes come and say that about a relligion I am not part of but certainly don't see as evil in the Sudan. See what happens to you. Like I say you guys can all spew your hate and bile online and yes it does lead to a world climate where your countrymen who have good intentions do have targets on their backs. You and your jingoistic little group of hate speakers won't understand a word I have just said. But hey ho, you don't have passports and you are not your brave countrymen you will put at risk.
Lol Steve by all means, enlighten us all. What would happen if I went there and told them Muhammad was a piece of shit? What would they do?
Go on, describe the way these friendly people would react.

I don't think I have to my brave little keyboard hatemonger, but what you fail to understand is how core to their lives their religion is. You are attributing your culture to someone else's and you seem to think your brave military will change this culture... No, bombs and guns like I said just made the west lose in Afghanistan as bad as the Russians did and the Taliban are back around the negotiating table. By going into someone else's country for spurious reasons and costing billions and hundreds of lives and then leaving with our tails between our legs we can see your way doesn't work. Like I said you'll never understand because you have never had occupying forces to hate and don't have the imagination or passport to understand what kind of climate that would create as a breeding ground for radicalism, But keep it up, you might be radicalising someone who will kill a westerner now! Good job (but really not)
So, the little savages would react violently. You know it, I know it. Make whatever excuse you want.

Most reasonable Americans are not proud of our murder rates. Only ghetto trash tend to celebrate that sort of thing. I'm glad the country I live in is safer than ****in El Salvador. And I have no desire to go to El Salvador anytime soon.
You seem like you're saying you go to these other countries on some sort of moral crusade... to show them that not all westerners are bad. But it's patently obvious you fancy yourself something of a badass and just like to brag about going to dangerous places. Which is fine.... if that happens to be your hobby. But don't bullshit a bullshitter.
How much of this is directly or indirectly attributable to UN, NATO, and American military interests and how much of it was just the natural modernization of Afghanistan, which was already underway to improvements before we started invading Afghanistan, as your data shows?
I don't tend to think that Afghanistan under Taliban rule was on the path to modernization. Rather, they had taken a few steps backward.
We are all aware that the first time we got "involved" in Afghanistan was during the Soviet invasion. We typically like to portray that story as we funded righteous freedom fighters to expel an unjust Soviet invasion. In fact, Afghanistan was currently ruled by a communist govt that was allied with the Soviets. Islamic and nationalist elements began terrorizing that government with guerilla attacks because of their socialist policies, including in part letting women go to school. In response, the communist Afghan govt requested the Soviets invade to reinstall order in the country.
After the Soviets fled, Afghanistan devolved into a sort of chaotic state ruled over by warlords, eventually succumbing to Taliban rule and with that a sort of ragtag Islamic theocracy.

You are most certainly free to think what you would like because that's just wonderful.
But as your own post shows, they were already on an upward trend. The data does not fit your narrative. Looks like Afghanistan didn't need the USA's "freedom", eh?
Indeed, and there is my problem. I am being asked to have empathy for people who would attack and/or kill me for the crime of...calling their shitty religion shitty. Those are not people that deserve to be saved or understood. Belief is not an excuse, you do not get a pass because you're flipping out over some belief as opposed to anything else. You're a still a piece of utter shit for doing it, I don't care how large a role your abhorrent religion plays. The fact religion is so core to their lives isn't the problem, it's that ISLAM is core to their lives.
Some extremist jainists would not be problematic.
