Totally predictable, and obscene.
A leader [Daisy Khan] of a planned Muslim community center near Manhattan's Ground Zero compared opposition to the project to the persecution of Jews, in comments that could add to the controversy over the center's proposed site.
Memo to Daisy: You forgot to mention that the Arab Muslim world is the epicenter of eliminationist Jew-hatred.
You forgot to mention that Faisel Abdul Rauf, your husband, has refused to label Hamas—dedicated to the liquidation of Israel and every Jew on the face of the earth—a terrorist organization.
In fact, you forgot to mention that your awesomely multicultural hubbie has, gee, what a shock, also called for an end to the Jewish State.
You also forgot to mention that the only genuine Islamophobia is Muslim against Muslim violence, which takes place every single day, every single hour in the Arab Muslim world.

"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 left, reliable idiots for transnational jihad—and yes, Daisy, in spite of her cute all-American name, is a stealth jihadist—always fall back on the same tedious attacks.
If you oppose Barack Obama's policies, it's not because you have legitimate policy differences, but it's because you are a bigot.
If you identify Islamist terrorists as, um, Islamist terrorists, that means you hate all Muslims.
If you oppose the Ground Zero Mosque, it's not because you think it's inappropriate, boorish, and an insult to the memory of the murdered, no, it's because you're un-American, a hater, and an Islamophobe.
Look, the majority of Americans are tolerant, decent people. They do not appreciate being demonized at every turn of the newscycle. Nancy Pelosi calls the Tea Party, “astroturf.” Barack Obama bloviates about those who “cling to their guns and religion.” And now the political class is telling normal Americans that the desire to protect and honor the memory of 9-11 victims is, at the core, hatred.
This is Orwellian poison.
Let us have clarity about the Ground Zero Mosque.
It is:
1. An insult to the dead, the survivors, and their families.
2. An Islamist proclamation of victory over the West.
3. Part and parcel of an international jihad.
Most Americans get these three points. That the political class does not just proves that these are people who cannot be trusted to control the reins of government.
The oh-so-tolerant Swiss recently banned minarets from their skyline, correctly perceiving that the minaret is a banner of Muslim triumphalism.
The French have banned the burqa. They will not allow masked things to roam their public spaces. Just as we in America do not allow the KKK to don masks at their rallies.
The Ground Zero Mosque is an opening political salvo, by Muslim extremists masquerading as moderates, in America's confrontation with imperialist and violent political Islam.
The fascist Islamists have truly become the bastard children of the Left, embracing victimhood even as, behind closed doors, they plot to enslave the rest of us in the theocratic monster of sharia.
