David Letterman Targeted By Jihadists
6:46 pm, August 17th, 2011
David Letterman is the target of online jihadists for joking about the death of an Al-Qaeda member.
The talk show host was threatened on the site Shumukh-al-Islam, which frequently posts messages from the terrorist network and its supporters, according to the SITE Intelligence Group.
A poster identified as Umar al-Basrawi took offense to a moment on Letterman’s program when he referred to the air strike death of Ilyas Kashmiri by drawing his hand across his neck.
The message reads, “Is there not amongst you a Sayyid Nosair al-Masri (may Allah release him) to cut the tongue of this lowly Jew and shut it forever,” apparently in admiration for a man tied to the 1990 murder of an Israeli politician and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
“[Letterman] showed his evil nature and deep hatred for Islam and Muslims… We ask Allah to paralyze his tongue and grant the sincere monotheists his neck.”
Letterman, who is not Jewish, has not commented on the matter.
