An internet jihadist has called upon American Muslims to kill comedian David Letterman.Seriously.
The threat comes from Umar al-Basrawi, a frequent contributor to a major Islamic jihadist forum, whose most recent online post asks American Muslims to “cut the tongue of this lowly Jew and shut it forever," according to the SITE Intelligence Group, a private company that monitors online jihadist traffic.
Apparently, Basrawi didn't appreciate a joke that Letterman, who is not Jewish, made about late al-Qaida bigwig Ilyas Kashmiri, a senior al-Qaida leader reportedly killed in an airstrike, and his former boss, Osama bin Laden.
