A SURVIVOR of the first Bali bombing said the "star" of last night's ABC documentary Jihad Sheilas would be hunted down after her hardline comments about the victims.
Peter Hughes said Rabiah Hutchinson, the so-called matriarch of radical Islam in Australia, was uninformed and utterly insensitive.
"It's like going back to that moment when the suicide bomber was standing next to me," said Mr Hughes, who nearly died after the October 2002 attack in which 202 people, including 88 Australians, were killed.
Mr Hughes warned there would be some people in the community who would hunt down Ms Hutchinson, who, fearing exactly that, attempted to have the show stopped on the grounds it misrepresented the views of herself and friend Raisah bint Alan Douglas.
In the hour-long documentary, Ms Hutchinson, who was married to the former Australian leader of Jemaah Islamiah, the terror group responsible for the bombing, was asked about the attack.
"Do I feel for the people that died? Not as much as I feel for those 200 Afghani people that gave me and my children shelter," Ms Hutchinson said.
"Why? Because they weren't holidaying in someone's country, sometimes engaging in child pornography or pedophilia or drug-taking."
John Harrison, who lost his daughter Nicole in the bombing, said Ms Hutchinson's comments followed the news that the Bali bombers had been granted another appeal. "I hope to Christ that someone belonging to her, like a son or a daughter, gets killed somewhere along the line and she suffers like we have," he said.
Ms Douglas and Ms Hutchinson have accused the documentary makers of deceitful and unethical conduct, saying they were tricked into participating.
They have told The Australian they were approached separately by an ABC crew last year. They said they were explicitly and repeatedly told the material would be used on the ABC's long-running Australian Story, a show Ms Douglas described as patriotic and sympathetic. She was told the program would focus on the women's conversion to Islam, not their alleged links to extremists.
The women, neither of whom was allowed to see the program before it went to air last night, are concerned it portrays them as traitors.
Ms Hutchinson said she had already been abused after being recognised from a promotion for the show.
They delivered a letter of protest to the ABC's Sydney headquarters on Monday. Neither Ms Hutchinson nor Ms Douglas has ever faced terrorism-related charges but both are known to the authorities for their alleged links to extremists and terrorist groups.
Ms Hutchinson also mounted a spirited defence of her religion in the program but denied having any involvement with militants.
"I would defend Islam with my life," she said. "So that makes me a filthy, dirty, subhuman terrorist that deserves anything that anybody and everybody wants to do to them. Does that mean I'm going to go and lob grenades out of the bus in Lakemba? No, it doesn't."

Who wouldn't die for their faith?
I mean the Crusaders died for theirs.
Are you telling me that the USA soldiers don't die for theirs????
I mean isn't that normal.
Democracy is a religion that is for sure that why the powers that be want every one to have it as their political system.....????
Muslims have become targets like the jews were before and then the japs.
Muslims are however 1.8 billion of the worlds population and growing.......i would say if they really all have that attitude the remainder of the worlds population will be shaking in their boots.
They will be mighty soldiers indeed if they are prepared to die for what they believe...
Aussie Soldiers arent going to Afghanistan to be cannon fodder. These are trained troops. Just like the crusaders perhaps, but fighting for Australia and the freedom to go and fight in Afghanistan. Look at all those poppy fields! It all comes back and is fed to our kids in Australia. We have to stop them. And I don't believe that those druglords are being paid off by CIA at the head of the pharmaceutical giants. It's all bull.
The woman obviously take their religion seriously, more than I can say for the christians and many of the muslims by name. Someone mentioned that this took “dawah” or islamic propagation, 10 year back in Australia. Some how I dont thinks so. I remember reading, that since 9/11 the rate of converts to islam increased at some dramatic rate. Qurans were sold out in US and many westerncountries. Some of my closest friends became muslim, and I can see that they embrace islam to its full extend, its just unfortunate that the west imposes on them its “freedom”.. so that they can’t practice their religion, its sad that some of the born muslims in the west, let the west walk all over them.
If you look at the history, many of the sciences and mathematics were all stolen from the muslims. I think islam is the true religion, as we can see from previous scriptures, the people who followed the truth, were always oppressed .. bullied by the “super powers”. If you look at the muslims.. they are those oppresed people. Even though they own the black gold, which should make them the leading people of the world.. but.. then they wouldn’t be the oppressed people i guess. SO its a catch 22… but i guess its not.. if you believe in paradise.. and one god, you’d accept islam for your salvation.
So, to be a muslim is to pledge the a covenant with Allah, the Creator of the heavens and earth, the Ruler of all that exists, the Lord of Majesty and Highness, and thats what those women did.
And also I testify .. La ilaha il Allah, Muhammad-ur-Rasool-Allah (None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah)
I believe that Sister Rabbiah spoke with dignity and spoke the truth.
Muslims have lost their honour and dignity as witnesses for the truth.
Good on her for having the guts to say what many are too frightened to.
May Allah swt bring about an Islamic state to wipe out all these falsehoods and hypocrites. ameen
His perfect Will =- will be even though the munafiqeen and kaffir hate it.
