Penn State Student Posts Jihadist Musical Tribute to Swedish Suicide Bomber

A Penn State student that has previously posted audio clips of songs praising Osama bin Laden has now published a tune in tribute to the Swedish suicide bomber, Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly. Emerson Begolly, who operates online under his nom de jihad, Asadullah Alshishani and is listed on the Penn State directory as an undergrad in the Letters, Arts and Sciences department, posted his nasheed (Islamic chant) on the infamous Ansar AlJihad forum last week – just two days after al-Abdaly’s attempted terror attack. Begolly’s song vows to “blow their heads right off their shoulders” and that “martyrdom is what I wanted best”.

This is not the budding jihadist crooner’s first foray into the music publishing world. In June the Jawa Report noted Begolly’s posted a song praising Osama bin Laden, ending with the refrain:

Osama bin Ladin

O, how I love you!

You sold your soul for Jannah

To Allah you are true

You sold your soul for Jannah

To Allah you are true

They call us “terrorists”

And terrorists we are!

Allah commands us to

Terrorize the kuffar

They call us “terrorists”

And terrorists we are!

Allah commands us to

Terrorize the kuffar

Allah commands us to

Terrorize the kuffar

A few days later he posted another song entitled, “When the Jew’s Blood Reds My Knife,” following the Israeli commando assault on a Turkish blockade-busting ship:

When the Jew’s blood reds my knife

Then my life is free from strife

Hiding behind rocks and trees

I’ll find them with greatest ease

Make them get down on their knees

Slaughter them despite their pleas

Throw them in the ovens hot

Soap and lampshades sold and bought

Made of the Jews that we shot

Mercy’s something I have not

With the bomb and machinegun

Blast at them and watch them run

We will have a lot of fun

Shoot and kill Jews one by one

The Jawa Report subsequently did a little research and posted a picture they discovered of Begolly wearing a Nazi uniform. They also found that he is a long-time contributor on the Axis History Forum, and described himself as “Assistant Deputy Reichsleiter” while he was in high school.

Emerson Begolly has also shown up in the Penn State newspaper. In January 2009, which the Israelis were conducting Operation Cast Lead against Hamas in Gaza, Begolly participated in an anti-Israel rally on campus and was interviewed by the Daily Collegian:

Kassis stressed that not all of the protestors were of Palestinian descent. Emerson Begolly (sophomore-religion) said he is Chechen, a people currently under Russian rule. He attended because he said he sympathized with Palestine’s situation.

Contrary to his assertion, he isn’t from Chechnya; he was raised in Pittsburgh, growing up in Natrona Heights northeast of the Steel City. But when you’re singing the praises of Osama bin Laden and Swedish suicide bombers, and penning odes about butchering Jews, why not fudge some facts?
