Muslim fanatics call to cut
David Letterman’s tongue
Ah, c’mon!!! It’s only a joke!
New York, August 18: US TV Talk show legend David Letterman has become terror target No 1 after Muslim fanatics called for his tongue to be cut out for telling a joke about Osama bin Laden’s death.
The new threat comes from a frequent poster on Islamic jihadist forums, Umar al Basrawi, who implored American Muslims to “cut the tongue of this lowly Jew and shut it forever,” according to the Middle East Media Research Institute, a non-profit that monitors online jihadists.
The New York Post reports Letterman, who isn’t Jewish, became the object of al-Basrawi’s ire when the late-night funnyman told a joke about the death of Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda’s search for his replacement.
“So (al Qaeda) picked a successor to Osama bin Laden and his name was Ilyas Kashmiri,” Letterman said during his opening monologue on June 8th, “well, guess what, he was blown up by an American drone.”
“It wasn’t going to work anyways because they got off to a rocky start with this guy,” Letterman continued, “he botched up the story of Paul Revere.”
Apparently, comparing the dead terrorist to Sarah Palin was one step too many for al-Basrawi, who ended his online rant with, “We ask Allah to paralyse his tongue and grant the sincere monotheists his neck. Oh Allah, amen.”
He then compared Letterman fate to the successful hit of Rabbi Meir Kahane, who was called by Islamic radicals in Brooklyn in 1990.
“To the righteous Muslims in America: Isn’t there among you (a man like) Sayyid Nosair, the Egyptian, who can cut off the tongue of this lousy Jew and silence him forever, just like Sayyid – may Allah hasten his release – did to his fellow Jew, (Rabbi Meir) Kahane?” al-Basrawi wrote in a translation provided by MEMRI.
