Pretty much every one who posts at The Jawa Report has gotten a death threat. Or, at least, that's the impression that I get. I've personally received tons of them--most of them before the Muhammed-Denmark-cartoon-gate. Several since we first commented on the childish and totalitarian attitudes of Muslims over the allegedly blasphemous drawings.

Apparently, we're not the only ones getting death threats. Jeff Quinton brings this news:

Russ Cassell, co-host of "The Russ & Lisa Show" airing on 1330/950AM in Greenville/Spartanburg, SC, announced during the second hour of his show today that there had been three death threats called in to the station since he appeared on nationally-syndicated "Mike Gallagher Show" on Tuesday talking about the Muhammad cartoon controversy.

During that appearance, Cassell announced that the cartoon would be displayed on the WORD Web site so people could see for themselves what all the "hubbub" is about.

Within a few hours of being on the Gallagher show, Cassell recounted this morning that a telephone call was made to the radio station from a man who said he was going to kill him.

Not long afterwards, Cassell received another call from the unidentified man that his family was also in danger and that Cassell would be followed to work.

Finally, a third call was made to the station threatening the life of Cassell's co-host, Lisa Rollins, and an ominous message for the radio hosts and those around them. Cassell said they told him "don't worry, we're not going to bomb anybody."
