Michael Massaroli Jr., who lost his father on 9/11, urged Americans not to use 9/11 to attack Muslims, saying doing so does not honor the victims, who included people of all faiths and ethnicities. "You do my dad's legacy and the legacy of all these victims no honor by using this tragedy to spread hate. We have seen a medley of people come up today, of all races, all religions, all creeds. And this tragedy is just that — it's a tragedy," he said at the Ground Zero ceremony marking the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks. "I've had to grow up and spend the past 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers and sisters, to hate on people who don't look like them, and that's wrong, and that does not honor to the victims here. And I want to use the little platform that I have to ask for that to please stop." #cspan #911 #victim #unity
