During his September 13, 2024 Friday sermon at the Muslim Community Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, Imam John Ederer said that he fears Muslim children believe what they are told in class about 9/11. He said: "They are being told in class that Islam and Muslims were the cause of this terrorist act." Ederer stated that "Islam and Muslims had nothing to do with what happened on 9/11," because "Islam is completely opposed to someone killing a bunch of civilians who went to work." He added that you cannot make a Muslim guilty for 9/11, and he claimed that the Muslims were the biggest victims of 9/11. Ederer accused the United States of being a "terrorist state." The sermon was streamed live on MCC Charlotte Media on YouTube.
Imam John Edere: "So every year, around this time, we hear about Muslim children being discriminated against under the guise of 9/11 education and remembrance. I've come to know that the vast majority of kids do not tell their parents what they have heard in class and what was said in class. This is for a variety of reasons. I fear that the worst of all reasons is that they believe that it's true. That they're being told in class, that Islam and Muslims was the cause of this terrorist act.

"The word 'Islam' and 'Muslim' should never be used if somebody feels that they need to be teaching about 9/11, for the simple fact that Islam had absolutely nothing to do with anything that happened on the day of 9/11.
[...]
"Obviously, the official 9/11 commission report—we all know, the story is ridiculous and bonkers, but we don't have to get into any of that, we don't have to sound like a conspiracy theorist.

"Islam is completely opposed to someone killing a bunch of peace civilians who went to work because of some imagined connection between them and some crime against whatever.
[...]
"Islam has obviously nothing to do [with] that so you can't make Islam in any way, or a Muslim in any way, guilty for it.
[...]
"There is no question that the biggest victims by far and wide of 9/11 was Muslims. A full-blown Holocaust has happened over the last 23 years, and it all goes back to: 'Oh, those are the terrorists.'
[...]
"Benjamin Netanyahu himself, he's on the record in video, 'We, in Israel, have benefited greatly from 9/11.' It is not a conspiracy theory, it's a fact. That's what he said, and that's what they're doing, because it was put in everybody's minds in massive brainwashing, that we have to accept that because all of those are potential terrorists.
"They're saying it in very clear terms all over the place in Zionism. They're saying: 'All of them are potential terrorists,' even though they are the terrorist state from day one, just like the United States is a terrorist state."
