Some observations on "America" and "Islam" as identity:

• Both ascribe to an idea of "exceptionalism"
• Both see themselves as exemplars who can redeem humanity.
• Both call the early part of their expansion "the opening" ("al-futuhat"/"the opening up of the west").
• Both rely on the "founding fathers" concept of nation building (the Salaf/the Founding Fathers).
• Both have a written document, to which all appeals can be made (the Qur'an/the Constitution).
