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. Its 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.

Dave is no Jew. Though I guess to these scum if you are not Muslim you may as well be.
Letterman is Jewish?
Why doesn't he just do it himself if it's such a good idea?
Sounds like a typical DUer, always wanting someone else to take on their responsibilities.
Let me guess, Obama will have secret service protect him.
Sarah Palin? NO Way.
Not sure if Letterman is Jewish. Wiki.: “His father, Harry Joseph Letterman, was a florist of British descent; his mother Dorothy Letterman... a Presbyterian church secretary of German descent, is an occasional figure on the show, usually at holidays and birthdays.” Don’t know if his dad
was Jewish, etc.
Maybe some ‘elites’ will have their eyes opened - but I doubt it.

That’ll shut up Letterman.
Letterman is from Indiana, but has fully transformed into a liberal New Yorker. A big contributor to Al Franken for example.
Whats the beef with him, Al?
IIRC, Jewishness is inherited through the maternal line ergo Letterman is not Jewish. But look how these jihadi worthless bloody savages target someone because of his name.
Did Letterman insult jihadis? I’m no Letterman fan but death threats like these against a U.S. citizen expressing his First Amendment rights ought to result in some Islamic Rage Boy somewhere in the world swinging from a lamp post in the f#$%#@g wind!
Sick of these animals!
[ Letterman is Jewish? ]
No, But Lettermen is.
If they would just pull the plug on his show, I’d applaud.
The guy is one of the biggest morons on TV.
Maybe this will wake him up and make him a conservative.
As a good and tolerant liberal, I’m sure Letterman will argue that, the jihadists have a right to feel and act they way they do.
I’ve never found Letterman to be entertaining. He just reads from the teleprompter and the crowd adores him.
Non-talent made it big.
