It's easy to look back and say that the US President committed an injustice to American-Japanese people. It was. However, in times of war sometimes drastic mistakes come back to haunt a nation. FDR did what he thought was necessary to protect the US homeland.

Why didn't they put Muslims in internment camps after 911 like how they did with the Japanese during World War 2?
A:The Japanese residents of the United States were placed in internment camps because the United States was at war and there was the chance that the Japenese people would try to assist the Japanese war effort. This was quite different to the situation after the 911 attacks, when even the most conservative politicians recognised that the loyalties of most Muslims in the country were with the United States. There was no need or reason to place them in internment other than as a misguided and misplaced punishment for attacks they had no prior knowledge of.
Why were Japanese internment camps bad?
Japanese people were taken away from things that they loved. It was obvious that the Japanese Americans were loyal to the United States and were citizens of the country. Finally internment camps we made for the Japanese only since they were not entirely white. Germans and Italians were not singled out to be in the internment camps because they were white even though the United States were fighting against Italy and Germany too. So this shows discrimination(segregation).
