The core of the American set of beliefs has remained pretty constant.

As far as ideology or political beliefs are concerned, countries are very different.

Obviously Pakistan and the U.S. are very different countries, but we have common geopolitical interests in preventing communist take over in Afghanistan and hence, now that Pakistan has a government that we can cooperate with, even though it is a military government, we are working together with them in order to promote our common interests. But obviously we also differ with Pakistan on a number of issues.

Certainly there are various trans-Islamic political movements, which try to appeal to Muslims in all societies.
