Pittsburgh Man Converts to Islam, and — Yes, AGAIN

New in PJ Media:

One thing you can say about Jack Molloy: he loves his mom. Molloy, a Pittsburgh resident who is now facing up to eight years in prison on terror-related charges, told his mother about his “master plan,” and now that plan is part of the reason why he has come to the attention of the feds. Mama Molloy wrote to her boy: “Your master plan was to join Hezbollah and kill Jews?” The earnest young man answered: “Yes.” It is not an extraneous detail that Jack Danaher Molloy converted to Islam in Feb. 2024.

It’s easy to see what attracted Molloy to The Religion of Peace. JNS reported Tuesday that the mama’s boy, “who is a former active duty member of the U.S. military and who converted to Islam in or around February 2024, used an email address on his PayPal that included the phrase ‘glassofjuice88.’” The Justice Department explained that “‘glassofjuice’ is a homophone for ‘gas the Jews,’ and the number ‘88’ is a reference to a white supremacist numerical code for ‘Heil Hitler.’ ‘H’ is the eighth letter of the alphabet, so 88 = ‘HH’ = ‘Heil Hitler.’”

Hating Jews and killing them seemed to be central to Molloy’s worldview. “I have a very fierce hatred of these Zionists,” he said, “and I need to fight.” Killing Jews was a longstanding obsession of his: “I have thought about this every moment of every day since I was 18, for 7 years now.”

Molloy also “supported and idolized violence and wanted to kill Jews, as evidenced by multiple images and videos on his electronic devices and the names he chose as his monikers for his social media and email accounts.” Those accounts “included variations of the phrase ‘k*ke killer’ and ‘gas the Jews.’”

After he converted to Islam, Molloy gave the impression that his Jew hatred was all in the family. “I grew up in a military family, so my mind is always obsessed with military,” he explained, adding that “to me, I am continuing the fight my great grandmother fought against the Zionists, but now Islamically.”

His great-grandmother fought against the Zionists? Molloy, a dual citizen of Ireland and the United States, is 24 years old. Was his great-grandmother among the small number of Irish citizens who fought alongside the National Socialist Germans during World War II?

In any case, in his attempt to follow in her footsteps “Islamically,” Molloy made his way to Lebanon and August and then to Syria in October. On both occasions, he was trying to join Hezbollah, but the trips didn’t work out as he had hoped. The DoJ’s complaint says that the earnest new convert “was told by multiple individuals that the time was not right and that he needed to take other steps before he could join the foreign terrorist organization.”
