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
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
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.
