New Twist: Alleged Young Jihadist Blamed Pedophile Pastor

First he sang odes to suicide bombers. Next he bit FBI officials while being arrested. Then video surfaced of him chanting “Alluha Akbar”; while firing an AK-47. Now the case of Emerson Begolly, the alleged 21-year-old young jihadist, has taken another strange twist: he says his anti-American hate began when a Christian minister tried to seduce and kidnap him.

According to instant messaging transcripts allegedly written by Begolly and obtained by Talking Points Memo (TPM), the radicalized young man told another jihad-obsessed friend in November that he “really started to hate this society” after a disturbing incident involving a pastor. (All formatting and spelling errors are his in the following quotes.)

“when i was like 13 or 14 some queer he tried to kidnap me,” Begolly wrote. “he came to me and put his hand on my le[g] and said…hey sweetie and i said who r u? he said he was a christian minister…he said the world would be a better place without women. he [g]ot closer and whisper in my ears… there would be just us men… but alhamdullah… i escaped.”

TPM says Begolly allegedly reported the incident to police, who then told him the man was indeed a minister but also a registered sex offender who raped a boy a few years prior.

“i am still traumatized,” he wrote to his friend.

The instant messages continue on for 79 pages, all part of evidence introduced last Thursday by investigators. According to TPM, those pages include railings against an America where "homosexuality… abortion… assisted suicide, whores, and dru(g)s r all legal," and an admission that he was obsessed with killing.

“when i wake up in the morning…the first thing i think about is killing…seriously… i think about killing all the time," he supposedly wrote in one conversation. "as i type this…my AK is propped up next to me…mujahideen style.”

His “AK” was one of his favorite weapons. A home video shows him practicing with it and shouting “Alluha Akbar”:

The instant messages also apparently include him talking about his “training” — which included target practice with his “AK”– and his ideas about terrorist attack options:

One possible plan, he explained to Khalidabdalhakim, was to violently take over a school — like the 2004 Beslan school hostage crisis — in return for the release of high-profile Muslim prisoners. On the top of the list of people Begolly wanted to free was Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani neuroscientist who is serving a sentence of 86 years for trying to kill American soldiers and FBI agents in Afghanistan, and Omar Abdel-Rahman, the alleged leader of an Egyptian terrorist organization, who is serving a life sentence for “seditious conspiracy.”

Concerned about whether Khalidabdalhakim would approve of his tactics, Begolly asked if he would object to using a child or unarmed noncombatant as a target. “plz dont think im a psycho,” he wrote.

Begolly also floated the idea of organizing a suicide terrorist attack by purchasing an old Buick, filling it with gas tanks and then lighting the car on fire. Desire to become “shaheed” — the Arabic word for martyr — was a common thread in the conversations. "the shaheed feels no pain except like a bee sting," he wrote.

And in the end, he seemed ready to see at least one of those plans carried out.

“i think they r chicken,” he wrote regarding the idea of being captured. “if i had the choice between 12 jourors [sic] and 6 palbearers [sic] id choose the latter any day ;).”

    A major defining point in his life, to become an anti-American jihadist, and he can’t remember exactly when it happened. “ when I was like 13 or 14 ”, nice try. This is nothing but a diversion. We can‘t jump to conclusions about him because he’s a Muslim, but the Left will jump quickly to conclusions on the Christian minister pedophile allegation.

    This part is interesting and needs to be validated.

    “TPM says Begolly allegedly reported the incident to police, who then told him the man was indeed a minister but also a registered sex offender who raped a boy a few years prior.”

    I know most blazers cant imagine clergy doing wrong, but the fact is it happens more than it should in Holy settings opposed to all else. It sounds like he in fact did file a police report from the above statement. People usually only go through those steps after a altercation has taken place. those who make stories up and go as far as filling a report are few. Before you say I am a atheist jihadist sympathizer you are of base and missing the mark.

    I have an idea. lets take confirmed jihadists and child molesters and sell pay per view tickets to the Jih-Ped bowl. Sell tickets to bystanders who would love the opportunity to hurl table pool balls from the bleachers of a auditorium at said guilty. Charge $10 a ball and $50 to watch it on payperview, all proceeds going to the victims families of course.

    This simple act will cut cost associated with prisons and prisoners. It will instill fear in those who would consider harming our children and it would show radical Islam that we don’t F^%$ around!
    I say take a hint from history and follow general John J. Pershing’s lead on this one people.

      Love the Idea of the “Jih-Ped bowl”…

      But I would like to point out some issues I have with his lame excuse(s). I do know and understand and do not deny that things like this do happen out there. However, his “situation” is not one that a victim is usually willing to share openly esp. through text messaging. Another issue, he states when he was “13 or 14” this happened. Such a general time frame for such a traumatic exp. for him, esp. if it was SO traumatic that it sent him over the edge. Victims can recall several things through the day that something like that had happened to them, some can even tell you the temperature and weather conditions at the time of the event. I just do not believe him based on my experiences. IMO, it is an attempt to solidify (in his mind and his friends minds) his reasoning to be what he is. Liars will tell a lie over and over again, until they believe it is true to the point that they no longer remember what is fact or fiction…

    I’m very sorry that he had that experience and hopefully that man is found and put in jail, as he should have been after the first report. A tiger does not change his stripes so find the S.O.B. However, that does not give this young man the right to take lives or threaten anybody because of a “near” horrible experience. Many children experience far worse than that and don’t take the path that this young man has taken. He is a danger to himself and others, by his own admission, so he needs to be in jail. (Not that a person’s own admission is taken very seriously by the media – unless it serves their agenda.)

      Morning Grandmaof5

      If what he reports of the Pastor molesting him, or attempting to, then the report needs to be released and the man charged if the evidence supports the claim. Either way, the jihadist is still to be held to account for HIS OWN actions; this country still holds too much of a ‘blame another’ mentality, the usual excuse of ‘oh he did not get a twinkie as a child’ defenses.

      God help us indeed.

      But since Emerson Begolly, doesn’t want to be a man and take responsibility for what he did, I think maybe we should castrate him and ship him to the Middle East. Lots of good drop off places, Karachi, Islamabad, Bagdad and Cario. I hear Tunisia is the place to be these days.

      A1955rosie – he allegedly reported the incident – it appears that it is Begolly’s word that he reported it and was told the person was a minister and registered sex offender. I personally do not find anything Begolly says to be credible – his defense team also tried to say an FBI agent was having an affair with Begolly’s mother. The story of him being approached by a pedophile priest sounds rather bizarre but if true then Begolly would have proof according to his own statements – a police report. Somehow I doubt one exists.
