Victim's Son Asks People to Stop Using 9/11 to Spread Hate
Michael Massaroli, son of a 9/11 victim, pleaded with attendees to stop using the tragedy to spread hate, particularly against Muslim communities. He stated that such actions dishonor the legacy of his father and all the victims, emphasizing that the event was a tragedy for people of all races, religions, and creeds.
Massaroli's plea addresses the ongoing issue of 9/11 being misused to fuel Islamophobia and xenophobia, highlighting the importance of remembering the event as a shared tragedy rather than a basis for division.
