North Yorkshire staff who handle anti-terror work were shown a slide stating that "Mother Mary wore a hijab." The line was used to argue that Islam's attitude to women does not conflict with Western values. The same presentation told them "Jesus grew a beard," as Muslim men are instructed to, and that "the hijab was prevalent in the UK only 100 years ago," illustrated with pictures of British shawls that have nothing to do with Islam.
Mary was a Jewish woman in first-century Judea. She lived about six centuries before Islam, and centuries before the hijab as it is understood today. No image of her, or of Jesus, was made for centuries after their lifetimes. Early Christian art first showed Jesus as a beardless youth.
None of that stopped a publicly funded programme from feeding the claim to council staff, and from putting related material in front of police officers, students and civil servants who run the Prevent counter terror program.
