Dave Letterman's Human Shield

Follow-up to Watch Your Tongue, Dave

Dave Letterman responds to the Jihadist threat to have his tongue cut out.

Watch Your Tongue, Dave

Late night talk show host, David Letterman has become the target of death threats that were posted on a jihadist website.

That's right....a frequent contributor to a radical muslim website urged followers to "cut the tongue" of David Letterman, all over a joke he made about the death of a Muslim leader.....back in June.

In his monologue, Letterman made the joke after a U.S. drone airstrike in Pakistan killed  al-Queda leader Ilyas Kashmiri. Letterman made the finger across the neck motion when referring to him and the death of Osama Bin Laden.
A man who uses the pseudonym, "Al-Basrawi" on this website posted this, "Is there not among you a Sayyid Nosair al-Miari to cut the tongue of this lowly Jew and shut it forever?"

Al-Basrawi was referring to a well known terrorist who was convicted of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. In his rant, Al-Basrawi asked Allah to paralyze Letterman's tongue.  Asking your God to paralyze someone's tongue is one thing, but when you put out a call to all terrorists to whack a late night talk show host and comedian, then I have to wonder if things are a little slow in the terrorist world.
Oh, and someone forgot to tell Al-Basrawi that Dave's not Jewish.

The Fibbies are looking in to this matter and have been quoted as saying they take this threat seriously.


Radical muslims just don't get that free speech thing.  It is our protected 1st Amendment right that allows us to poke fun of ALL religions equally...and their's is no exception.
Terrorists....they have no sense of humor.
