In this paper, I will shed ight on how the U.S immigration policies have changedsince the tragtc event of 9/ll, and how so far no one is sure asto who played major rolein that but racial profiling has been long done (Akram 2002, Johnson 2004). I willanalyse various researcharticles which have presentedhow Muslims in general after the9/ll eventhad specifically been targeted and how they were used as scapegoatsor Lawenforcement agencies to cover up their lack of counter terrorist strategies and lack ofcriminal law enforcement(Deflem 2002, Miller 2005). The supporting evidencegives usa more distinguished look on how minorities (Muslims, Aboriginals, and South-eastAsians etc) have been targeted in such vast Multicultural countries and how Immigrationpolicies are not improving their condition and rather deteriorating them (Richmond,2000). Richmond's (2000) researchproves that immigration policies are more in thehandsof Governmentofficials rather than sociologistsor psychologists,who emphasizepatriotism and pride rather than dealing with these situations logically. The failure tocope up with the increasing amounts of immigrants in the country and the outdated orusually prejudiced immigration policies state how racism is being promoted in the rurmeof Multiculturalism.

The main objective of my paper is to examine how after glll Muslims or moretechnically the term used as "brown" (which is again racially unacceptable in amulticultural country) have been racially discriminated and how only those out of the

hundredsof dif|erent raceshave been blamed for such anevent (Elassar, 2004) Althoughthere has been no proof as to who masterminded such a disastrous event but there arevarious conflict theories which present that it could have been a self motive for theAmerican Government to take such a drastic and destructive stance.My researchpaperwould critically analyse and examine how racial discrimination in general andspecifically for the Muslims has become a political agendaand how it is getting worse,and why no further step s being taken to reorganize it.
