Well I don’t think so, it just changed. The West was already, long term, involved in murderous wars on Muslims long before people attacked America. “We” had just decided (or Kissinger had anyway) that Shia were nasties (Palestinians and Iranians in particular) but Sunni were not (al Saud and the mujahideen). I guess that the political elite were able to pretend to themselves that they weren’t racist in doing this. Never held any water with me.
