Is any old enough to remember the USA Communist symapthizers decades ago? Everywhere i look nowadays i see caucasions absorbing themselves in Middle east culture (Granted, I live in southeast Michigan, the largest of the population). Reading about their religion, their politics, wearing their clothes, sympathizing with their politics. I see many caucasions becoming at one with their culture, joining their religions. I am not anti-middle eastern. They can be just as dumb as the dumbest blacks or dumb whites-they go to the same schools. I can't help but associate whats going on in the middle east with what happened during the so called Red Scare or the Hitler Sympathizers.

Red scare would be accurate. Also the fear people had of Asians, particularly Japanese Americans during WWII. American citizens who simply because their ancestors were Japanese were put into concentration camps like Manzanar and others. Fear is part of propaganda.
The Nazis used it effectively too. What they did was used to a point in the US in WWII but more so now.
Hermann Goering, second in command of the Third Reich and key founder of the Nazi party, said; “Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger”.
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic, and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the state to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
__Josef Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda

No, but Islamophobic bigots are just as bad as McCarthyites.
