I'd say pedophiles, if nothing else, because most people are not nearly as paranoid about terrorists as they are about pedos. Even looking or talking to a child is enough to make you the object of suspicion in some people's eyes, at least if you're a man.

Slightly off-topic, I'd like to note that the victims of witch hunting were predominately women, but men could also be victims, and in some places they were the majority.
