Online jihadist calls for David Letterman's assassination
EW.com ^ | August 17, 2011 | James Hibberd

Posted on 08/17/2011 12:52:31 PM PDT by Beaten Valve

A website frequently used by Al Qaeda has posted an assassination threat against David Letterman.

According to the SITE Intelligence Group, a frequent user of the online forum called on Muslims to kill the CBS late-night host after taking offense at a joke made on the program. A poster calling himself Umar al-Basrawi wrote: “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. Just as Sayyid (may Allah release him) did with the Jew Kahane.” Sayyid Nosair al-Masri was tried for the murder of Rabbi Meir Kahane in 1990.

SITE analyst Adam Raisman tells EW the threat was made on Shumukh-al-Islam, a site where messages from Al Qaeda frequently first appear online in the United States. “It’s a clearing house for Al Qaeda material, it gets the most Al Qaeda supporters,” he said.

Raisman ranked the threat as more worrisome than the “warning” posted against South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone last year. “This was a more explicit threat,” he said. “It was direct and to the point.”

bwahahahahahaha.... schadenfreude

the hater of "conservatives" and back stabbing little weasel, now gets a taste of the ultra-violence. Now if only Jon Stewart makes a snide little comment about the religion of peace. f'ing hilarious.

C'mon Dave... it's fun making fun of Sarah Palin, her kids and those mean old conservative Christians.... cause we won't kill you. Let's see how brave you are now. punk.... this is priceless. I'd like to start a pool for the jihadist and maybe an over and under for the number of attempts.

Dave is no Jew.

Perhaps a "JINO".

“I’ve never found Letterman to be entertaining. He just reads from the teleprompter and the crowd adores him.”

Just like Obama.

That is just not right. They ‘date’ goats and f-—k little boys. Got to study up on the culture over there, or go visit and see how depraved they are, first hand.

So what will the result be? Will Dave finally wake up and see the light that Islamic fanatics are the real danger and not the “Christian extremists” he regularly mocks? Or will he turn coward, never make a joke about Islamic terrorism again and redouble his ridicule of Christians to compensate? I know my guess.

Yeah, Michael Berry is fantastic! I can't believe I used to listen to Hannity when Rush was over because I was too lazy to change channels. I'm still lazy so I have one radio tuned to 740 and one tuned to 950. Now that's lazy! ;D

Let me guess, Obama will have secret service protect him.

##

Why would Obama need protection from his own people?
