    Letterman has done it again
    Late night talk show hosts have reputation for having a big mouth but this time Letterman has offended the islamists
    Muslim fanatics call to cut out TV host David Letterman's tongue | News.com.au
    Now what I would like to know is if these fanatics are going to be just brushed off because they are entited to say whatever they want even if it is a direct threat calling for GBH on Letterman's person

    Everyone should defend Letterman's right to offend. Will they ? Nahh . They will cower just like they did with the Mohammed cartoons. Letterman will be forced to go into hiding .

    "The new threat comes from a frequent poster on Islamic jihadist forums"

    If every threat from every stupid forum poster was news it would be never ending. This is a non-story.

    Theo Van Gogh didn't think the threat against him was serious either .

    Oh I get it . You just don't like the source of the news item.

    Tuesday, the SITE Intelligence Group, a private company that monitors online jihadist traffic, detected a credible death threat against David Letterman coming from a Muslim extremist website identified with Al Qaeda.

    BTW ,Kurt Westergaard,creator of the Mohammed cartoons was attacked in his apartment and almost killed .
    All death threats should be treated seriously.

    Instead of "Letterman has done it again" I'd say "there go those wacky Muslim extremists again."

    A lousy joke is cause to "cut the tongue of this lowly Jew and shut it forever" and to "ask Allah to paralyse his tongue and grant the sincere monotheists his neck"?
