Days after a jihadist had made violent threats against him, late-night comedian David Letterman tightened security at the Manhattan theater where he tapes his “Late Show.”

A source told the New York Post Friday that additional security precautions were taken at the Ed Sullivan Theater after a Muslim extremist called for Letterman's tongue to be cut out on Shumuka al-Islam forum, a popular Internet destination for radical Muslims.

"Is there not among you a Sayyid Nosair al-Mairi ... to cut the tongue of this lowly Jew and shut it forever?" a user identified as Umar Al-Basrawi wrote, referring to El Sayyid Nosair, who was convicted of the 1990 killing of Jewish Defense League founder Meir Kahane. Letterman is not Jewish.

Roll out Cat Stevens as his musical guest. Make some equalizing joke about Christians, and make it seem like he makes jokes about everybody. Make some statement about how it was just humor, and that the Muslim religion has a great history, and is a great religion. Belittle some other religion. “See you are better then these people”. “I really didn't mean you were inferior”. “Our next guest coming up is-——,” and commercial break.

Letterman is a liberal ass, but if I have to pick a side in this fight, I damn sure won’t be siding with the Muslim jihadists.
