The BBC’s interview with Rabiah Hutchinson, the ex-wife of top al Qaeda operative Mustafa Hamid (aka Abu Walid al Misri), provides a fascinating look into the mind of a western woman who became a jihadist ideologue. Rabiah Hutchinson used to be known as Robyn Hutchinson until she was swayed by radical Islam. But she can’t understand why Australian authorities won’t let her travel around the globe or why she remains under surveillance. According to the BBC, Hutchinson says that “she’s been labeled as an al Qaeda operative because the authorities want someone to blame.”

Right. If you believe that, then I have a bridge or two I’d like to sell you.
