A Muslim playing the Jew card? How innovative. Of course, it plays well with the press who report it as if it's a legitimate criticism.

"We are deeply concerned, because this is like a metastasized antisemitism," said Daisy Khan, who is spearheading the project with her husband, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf. "It's beyond Islamophobia. It's hate of Muslims."

Ms. Khan, appearing on ABC News's "This Week" on Sunday, vowed to push ahead with plans to build a 15-story complex two blocks from the site of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in lower Manhattan, saying there was "too much at stake."

The words could further inflame an already angry debate about the proposed location of the community center, which opponents denounce as a "victory mosque." Rival protests for and against the $100 million center were planned in lower Manhattan on Sunday.

"Metastasized" anti-Semitism? Sounds serious. A completely made up concept like that, however, doesn't deserve inclusion in the debate. And Ms. Khan must do better in the humor department; the idea of a Muslim decrying anti-Semitism might make John Stewart's The Daily Show.
