Muslim Jihadists Make Threats Against David Letterman

By Douglas V. Gibbs

David Letterman made a joke, and now a jihadist website has urged its Muslim followers to "cut the tongue" of the late-night host because of a joke the comic made on his late night CBS show.

Whew, good thing he didn't draw some cartoon about Muhammad. That would have been the burqa that broke the camel's back.

The Islamist reaction was to Letterman making the hand across the neck motion when he discussed how the U.S. military announced that a drone strike in Pakistan had killed al-Qaida leader Ilyas Kashmiri.

"Is there not among you a Sayyid Nosair al-Mairi ... to cut the tongue of this lowly Jew and shut it forever?" the Islamist wrote.

Muslim extremist groups in the past few months have increased calls for people to take violent action against certain targets in the West, according to an organization that keeps an eye on these kinds of Jihadist websites.

The worry is some small minded Islamist (which seems to dominate the political ideology of Islam) will follow the directions, and take action.

A radical Muslim group last year warned the creators of "South Park" that they could face violent retribution for depicting the prophet Muhammad in a bear suit on the Comedy Central cartoon. Author Salman Rushdie spent years in hiding after Iranian leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini urged he be killed for blasphemy after writing the book "The Satanic Verses."

Eventually, these threats will become more than threats. The problem here is not Letterman - it's the idiot Islamists that worship the political ideology created by a pedophile named Muhammad because he wanted to be like a messiah.
