How are the Salem witch trials reflected in the treatment of Muslim Americans today?

This is an honest opinion (as I am assuming this is for), so I might go a little overboard... Just a warning. During the Salem witch trials, innocent people were persecuted for being witches, such as Muslims are for being terrorists, even if it isn't true. Not all Muslims are terrorists, and not everyone is a witch. People aim for the wrong ones, and this is basically repeating history, just a little bit more extreme. I hope this is what you were looking for, and let me know if it's not. I'm sorry if it isn't, but either way I hope this helps in some way!
