NEW YORK -- A frequent contributor to a jihadist website has threatened David Letterman, urging Muslim followers to "cut the tongue" of the late-night host because of a joke the comic made on his CBS show.
The Site Monitoring Service, a private intelligence organization that watches online activity, said Wednesday that the threat was posted a day earlier on the Shumuka al-Islam forum, a popular Internet destination for radical Muslims.

I assumed we’d all forgotten he even exists.
I think they are yelling “Letterman, you must remain tolerant of us!”
Islam - the religion of peace...
Letterman who?
Well, it will go something like this:
"Media" person (to "a person in charge"): Is there any possibility that someone from, say, the TEA Party could have done this to make Muslims look bad?
PIC: We have no information supporting such a charge.
"reporter": But you don't have any evidence that they didn't do it, right?
PIC: No.
"reporter": So it is within the realm of possibility that they did this to make it look they did not do it?
PIC: Well, at this point, anything is "possible".
Headline: "TEA Party Possible Suspects in Letterman Threat"
Well, at least now I can have a little more sympathy and respect for the radical Muslims. Isn’t that what the Left wants?
Top Ten reasons why an online jihadist would threaten David Letterman :
10: Because last nights top ten list sucked beyond belief.
9: Because the jihadist discovered Letterman’s role in the assassination of JFK and the Watergate scandal.
8: Because Letterman dissed Michael Jackson.
7: Because, worse than that, Letterman dissed Elvis.
6: Because Letterman refused to give his comedy writers a raise in their pay.
5: Because some bald, four eyed, keyboard playing musician, who gave his name as David Letterman, slept with his sister. And his Mother.
4: Because the jihadist is a Jay Leno fan.
3: Because Letterman ignored his Facebook friend invite.
2: Because Letterman mocked Allah by getting his beard shaved off back in 2008.
And the number one reason why an online jihadist would threaten David Letterman:
1: Because that famed comedy writer Umar al-Basrawi is sick and tired of getting rejection slips for all the unsolicited top ten lists he keeps on sending in to Letterman’s office.See More
Let them work things out.
There was something here about this story yesterday, too, but I still don’t know what the joke was. Why won’t anyone repeat it?
Of course, most of the time with this jerk Letterman there isn’t anything funny in what he says.
Maybe Dave can have Islam Yusuf (Cat Stevens) on, to make amends.
I’ve been searching with no luck. Can someone post the link to the video where he says all this that got him threatened? Thanks in advance.
Al-Basrawi took particular issue with jokes Letterman had made about Osama bin Laden and Muhammad Ilyas Kashmiri, a senior al-Qaeda leader who was killed June 3.
“The concern is that there is someone who will read it, agree with it and say, ‘I want to be the Sayyid Nosair of 2011 and kill David Letterman,’” said Adam Raisman, an analyst for Site Monitoring Service, a private intelligence organization that spotted the post.
