An internet jihadist named Umar al Basrawi has called upon American Muslims via an online Islamic jihadist forum to kill David Letterman for being a "lowly Jew."
The only catch is that Letterman is not actually... Jewish.
The threat stemmed from a discussion on Islamic jihadist forums, in which Bawari stated: "I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears, one of the lowlifes of the Jews, and one of their pigs, mocking one of the leaders of the mujahedeen."
It is assumed that what Bawari was referring to was an Osama Bin Laden joke made by Letterman in an episode of The Late Show in which he compared the Islamic leader to Sarah Palin. "So [al Qaeda] picked a successor to Osama bin Laden and his name was Ilyas Kashmiri," Letterman said on a June 8th episode, "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. He botched up the story of Paul Revere."
Baswari continued his online rant with a prayer, "We ask Allah to paralyze his tongue and grant the sincere monotheists his neck. Oh Allah, amen."
"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?"
