Medea Benjamin speaks at 9/11 Interfaith Memorial

Muslims for Peace sponsored an interfaith commemoration of the 15th anniversary of 9/11 at the Masjid-e-Ali mosque in central New Jersey. An imam, a rabbi and a minister offered prayers. Phillip Kramer, the mayor of Franklin Township, said he came because he wanted to spend the anniversary "with loyal, patriotic Americans." Keynote speaker and CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin thanked Muslims for Peace for "inviting a Jew, like me." Benjamin spoke in depth about her new book, Kingdom of the Unjust: Behind the US-Saudi Connection. Indeed, Benjamin argued, militarization is the broader issue.
