Begolly Chat Transcripts: Post 1

The prosecution in the case of Penn State jihadist Emerson Begolly (aka “Asadullah al-Shishani” aka “Goatly” aka “Goat Lee” aka “Abu Nancy”), has made public one exhibit, which provides verbatim chat transcripts of IM conversations that Begolly, using the screen-name “Abu Nancy” (father of Nancy, referring to his imaginary daughter, Nancy) had with other jihadist internet users.

I will spend the next few days going through those transcript excerpts that I find indicative of Begolly’s overall mentality and knowledge. I will annotate the excerpts with my own reflections along the way – hopefully teasing out some more generalizable insights.

Our first chat for review will be, “Conversation with khalidabdalhakim@almanhajribat.net at 10/28/2010 6:25:46 PM on “abunancy@almanhajribat.net”  It begins:

(6:25:52 PM) abunancy@almanhajribat.net: assalaamu alaykum
(6:25:56 PM) abunancy@almanhajribat.net: im here ya akhi
(6:26:07 PM) khalidabdalhakim@almanhajribat.net: wa ‘alaykum al-salam, ya akhi
(6:26: 1 1 PM) khalidabdalhakim@almanhajribat.net: ahlan wa sahlan!
(6:PM) abunancy@?almanhajribat.net: ahlan beky
(6:26:33 PM) khalidabdalhakim@almanhajribat.net: no “Y” at the end
(.6:26:37 PM) khalidabdalhakim@,almanhajribat.net: biki is how you address a woman ;)
(6:26:50 PM) abunancy@almanhajribat.net: no wonder
(6:26:55 PM) abunancy@almanhajribat.net: i learned this phrase
(6:26:57 PM) abunancy@almanhajribat.net: from a sister
(6:27:04 PM) khalidabdalhakim@almanhajribat.net: hahaha

Ok, so in this edition, Begolly, using the moniker, “abunancy,” is chatting it up with a buddy, “Khalid Abd al-Hakim” (someone using the same  user name has busy posting comments in Arabic on well-known video websites since mid-2010.)

What you see here is Begolly trying his hand at the usual “what up dog?” transliterated Arabic greetings that English-language jihadis love to give each other.  But in this case, Begolly learned the response”ahlan beky” (or ahlan biki) from a girl so he used the feminine version instead of “ahlan beka” for a man.  His buddy laughs at him.
