Yet another convert to Islam somehow gets the crazy idea that his new religion calls for violence against unbelievers. Authorities remain resolutely incurious about this recurring phenomenon.
“Pittsburgh man ‘idolized’ anti-Jewish violence, tried to join Hezbollah, Justice Department says,” JNS, December 10, 2024:
Jack Danaher Molloy, 24, a dual Irish-American citizen, traveled to Lebanon in August and to Syria in October trying to join the Hezbollah terror organization, according to a federal complaint unsealed on Monday.
In Lebanon, “Molloy 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,” per the 27-page complaint. He then “traveled from Lebanon to Syria in October 2024 in the hopes of joining the Syrian branch of Hezbollah.”
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,” per the complaint. The latter “included variations of the phrase ‘kike killer’ and ‘gas the Jews,’” it adds.
Molloy, 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,” according to the Justice Department.
“Your affiant is aware, based on training and experience, 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,’” according to the complaint. “‘H’ is the eighth letter of the alphabet, so 88 = ‘HH’ = ‘Heil Hitler.’”
In August and September, Molloy searched on Google for “Hezbollah training” and “Hezbollah reserves,” according to the complaint, and he communicated via WhatsApp voice notes with unknown individuals, who advised him to frequent mosques that had Hezbollah membership and to learn Arabic.
“On or about Sept. 20, 2024, Molloy sent a message to an individual with a Snapchat username of [redacted] stating that Molloy had attended a Hezbollah funeral and that ‘the gate guards even though they were different ones from last week, knew of me, they knew that I’m Irish, that I’m Shia, and somehow they knew that I want in with Hezbollah,’” per the complaint. “‘They were entertaining the idea of me being Hezb. I fully expect to be taken off the streets at any moment for questioning and vetting.’”
In late September, Molloy allegedly wrote that he “grew up in a military family, so my mind is always obsessed with military” and, “to me, I am continuing the fight my great grandmother fought against the Zionists, but now Islamically.” Per the complaint, he added that “I have a very fierce hatred of these Zionists and I need to fight” and “I have thought about this every moment of every day since I was 18, for 7 years now.”
The defendant was subsequently warned that Hezbollah officials might suspect he was an Israeli agent, according to correspondence monitored by U.S. intelligence agencies….
Molloy also corresponded with his mother about his plans, including thinking of going to Russia to fight against Ukraine, “in order to ultimately reach his goal of joining Hezbollah,” per the complaint.
“But your master plan was to join Hezbollah and kill Jews?” his mother wrote to him. “Yes,” he responded. “How is joining Russia part of [the] master plan?” she asked. “It’s a job,” he said. “A one-year job.” Later on in the conversation, she said his plan was part of his “unstable thinking.” He replied, “I’ve already spoken to recruitment,” per the complaint.
After the defendant returned stateside and lived in Upper St. Clair, a Pittsburgh, Pa., suburb, Molloy “continued to engage in conduct consistent with his desire to join Hezbollah,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania….

i think his Irish heritage is a greater factor in his desire to kill Jews, than his conversion to Islam. Or his hatred for Jews was a driving factor to convert to Islam as in his madness he believes the murder of innocents will assure him a place in Paradise.

Well Golly. Mr. Danaher is just trying to practice His Religion!

He understands that Islam is a murderous ideology against all Non-Muslims. Moreover, Islam is a deceitful, totalitarian, terrorist, pedophilic Criminal Gang Enterprise against all Non-Muslims by using discrimination, deception, rape, hatred, and violence to gain ultimate power and control as taught in Islamic Law and in Islam’s Quran. Furthermore, Islam’s supremacist-genocidal Ideology, its tyrannical Muslims, its propaganda Schools, its foreign terrorist Organizations, and its ‘Convert-or-Die’ Mosques fund, teach, inspire, and promote ‘Threats and Incitement of Violence’ as well as never-ending terrorism, loathing, and segregation against women, children, and all Non-Muslims(eg. Quran 2:191-3; 4:89,100; 5:14,82; 8:65; 9:5,14-15,29; 33:26; 47:4; 65:4; 98:6-7 and more).

He should be joining up with Hezbollah just about the time when it is completely destroyed by Israel. No more Syrian daddy in Assad. No more Iranian rich uncle mullah. Hezbollah will go the way of the DODO bird. Extinct. And this Irish dummy Molloy will be ready with his automatic rifle to join the ranks of a completely defeated and unraveling Hezbollah. Molloy, what a dummy. Go to a pub, have a Guinness and try enjoying life, the Irish way. Don’t cheapen your existence and possibly terminate it permanently.

“Go to a pub, have a Guinness and try enjoying life, the Irish way. ”
Well, the most dearly beloved of the Irish people – their soulmates the Palestinians and other Muslims – are coming to put an end to the Irish way of life.
Sorry, but the schadenfreude is gonna be overflowing.

Given how badly decimated Hizbullah is, they could use him. Why not send him first to join Hizbullah forces in Syria? If he survives that, he can then move to the Golan border and try firing at Israel from the bottom of Mt Hermon

What a fool. What an idiot. The mozlum goon has a lust to murder someone. it sounds, from the quotes of what he said, that he has been imagining murdering Jews, salivating and building up in his mind how tough he believes himself to be.
Next, they will be saying he’s schizophrenic.
Making the Irish look bad to anyone who doesn’t know a normal Irish person.
James Lincoln says
Personal memo to the incoming “Borders Czar” Tom Homan:
Permanently deport Jack Danaher Molloy on day one to Ireland – and confiscate his US passport.
abu taleb says
I keep saying this, a lot of converts to Islam want to kill people, while converts to other religions mostly become more pacifist. If this doesn’t show that Islam is an evil religion, then whoever thinks Islam is not an evil religion, must be an idiot.
sporticus says
-You want to join Hizballah? Who are you?
-They call me Irish Jock.
-Sorry. Haram. Cannot do. Islam does not allow jokes, even Irish jokes like you.

Männer mit so einer Gesichtsbehaarung sind total uncool und unsexy. Welche Frau möchte so einen Mann im Bettchen haben ? Keine. Gut so. Dann setzt der auch keine Nachkommen in die Welt.
Andrew Blackadder says
I have noticed that many of muslims, recent converts or not, all seem to be using WhatsApp and Facebook to spew their deep rooted hatred for Jews while taking no notice of who owns WhatsApp and Facebook and who invented WhatsApp and where he comes from, which City and country and where he was living when he invented it..
Is there a word in Arabic for irony ?
Inquiring minds want to know.
