'Bruno' Turns Sacha Baron Cohen Into Potential Terrorist Target

[Soylent Brice]

A Palestinian group that the U.S. State Department has on its terrorist list reportedly has the comedian in its sights after he featured the organization in his current film "Bruno," in which he plays an openly gay Austrian television host. "We reserve the right to respond in the way we find suitable against this man (Cohen)," the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades said in a statement released to WorldNetDaily.com, an independent news Web site.

"It might be a threat, it might not be," Aaron Klein, the WorldNet reporter who broke the story, told ABCNews.com. "Every terrorist threat should be taken seriously."

It's not clear what, if anything, Cohen or Universal Pictures, which released the film, is doing in response to Al Aqsa's statement. Both declined to comment when contacted by ABCNews.com.

support SBC's screamingly camp movie character or a bunch of Islamic terrorists? I suppose they're going on th basis that SBC is Jewish and not (as far as anyone knows) actually gay, so it must be OK. Or something.
