If you look at WWII history - American's of Japanese lineage were put into concentration type of camps to limit communications with Japan and others the US considered a threat. Good people were discriminated against because the country feared they were part of the attack on Pearl Harbor. After 9-11 attacks - any that the citizens of western countries consider a possible threat - any who seem to possibly have a tie to Alqueida forces is considered a threat in much the same way.

Why did Osama bin Laden attack the US?

Bin Laden believed he and his followers were justified to attack the west because in his view, the west was attacking Islam. He was opposed to the presence of western (including American) troops in Saudi Arabia, which is the holy land to Muslims. He also resented America for killing Muslims during the Gulf War. Bin Ladin practiced a very fanatical version of Islam in which he believed no Muslim nation should form alliances with the United States or with the west, and he wanted Islam to conquer the western world. Thus, he expected that by attacking the two centers of capitalism, the Twin Towers, and the symbol of the United States military, the Pentagon, it would destroy America.
