This definition is a double-edged sword. What happens when non-secular state defines certain Westernisms/Americanisms as an existential threat to social moralities derived from the religion that gives a government legitimacy among its populace? In the case of non-secular governments, existential threats to religious mores are basically also threats to security. The criminals who blew up the Twin Towers on September 11th viewed their actions as aligned with their right to kill people in other sovereign nations in pursuit of their own security.
"The U.S. just gets the brunt of the blame for these sorts
of accidents because it bankrolls geopolitical stability
for the rest of the world."
Many would argue that we reduce geopolitical stability by greatly distorting geopolitics through far too many policies to enumerate here.
