Original Note:
Mary, the mother of Jesus, was Jewish in religion and ethnicity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary,_mother_of_Jesus https://womenshistorynetwork.org/mary-mother-of-jesus-christ/ She could not have been a Muslim, because Islam did not appear until almost six centuries after her death and that of Jesus. Before that, there was no mention of Islam. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Islam https://www.britannica.com/topic/Islam https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/teach/muslims/timeline.html https://www.metmuseum.org/learn/educators/curriculum-resources/art-of-the-islamic-world/unit-one/the-prophet-muhammad-and-the-origins-of-islam https://smarthistory.org/introduction-to-islam/
