I didnt know christians were against the Hijab? I know many catholic churches express the Hijab in a different way... like the Habits of the Nuns.
A hijab is meant to show modesty to cover the "Aurat", so modern people wear scarves or veils or hats to church... Those sunday hats are so cheerful and happy... that is EXACTLY how going to church should feel... not as if we are goingto a funeral...lol
(P/s: for those who don't know... A Hijab is a head cover to veil one's hair from public view, where only husband and family can see ... its a symbol of respect and modesty )

Mary is drawn that way because in her culture that is what women wore. Christianity isn't against hejab, it is just that we do not require it. Instead, Christians teach that a woman is to dress modestly in her culture. We do not spell out specifics, but if a woman is in a muslim culture where it is disgraceful for a woman to not dress hejab, we would advise a woman to wear hejab clothing in order to be modest in her culture.
In america where women wear tight pants and clothing showing their breasts, "modesty" is considered to be not showing cleavage and having a skirt down to the knee.
It is relative but the point is to be modest in the culture that you are in, even if that means wearing more than you want to wear!
If I were in a muslim country, I would dress according to hejab in order to be modest.

First of all, who ever said that "Christians are against hijab"? Secondly, why would you call Mary, Mother of God "miss Marie"? And thirdly, Mary was a Hebrew. All Middle Eastern women covered their heads back in the day and a lot of them still do today.
Check your facts before you ask a stupid question.

Christians shouldn't be against hijab as the Jews of that time and some in the Middle East and Muslims wear the hijab. The Jews use to cover their woman like the Muslims do and they should do.

“Ever Wonder Why?”
Why a Jew can grow his beard in order to practice his faith But when Muslim does the same, he is an extremist and terrorist! Why a nun can be covered from head to toe in order to devote herself to God But when Muslimah does the same she is considered oppressed .
When a western women stays at home to look after her house and kids she is respected because of sacrificing herself and doing good for the household? But when a Muslim woman does so by her will, they say, "she needs to be liberated"! Any girl can go to university wearing what she wills and have her rights and freedom? But when Muslim woman wears a Hijab they prevent her from entering her university!
When a child dedicates himself to a subject he has potentials. But when he dedicates himself to Islam he is considered hopeless!
When a Christian or a Jew kills someone his religion is not mentioned, but when Muslim is accused for a crime didn’t commit, it is Islam that goes to trial! When someone sacrifices himself to keep others alive, he is noble and all respectful. But when a Palestinian does that to save his son from being killed, his brother's arm being broken, his mother being raped, his home being destroyed, and his mosque being violated -- He gets the title of a terrorist! Why? Because he is a Muslim! Whenever there is a trouble we try to find and solution to it and generally accept any solution? But if the solution lies in Islam, we refuse to take a look at it. When someone else drives a car in a bad way no one blames him. But when any Muslim makes the same mistake - people say "Islam is the reason"! Without looking to the traditions of Islam, people believe what the newspapers say. But question is what the Quran says!
A man is taking a walk in Central park in New York. Suddenly he sees a little girl being attacked by a pit bull dog . He runs over and starts fighting with the dog. He succeeds in killing the dog and saving the girl's life. A policeman who was watching the scene walks over and says: "You are a hero, tomorrow you can read it in all the newspapers: "Brave New Yorker saves the life of little girl" The man says: - "But I am not a New Yorker!" "Oh ,then it will say in newspapers in the morning: 'Brave American saves life of little girl'" – the policeman answers. "But I am not an American!" – says the man. "Oh, what are you then? " The man says: - "I am a Saudi !" The next day the newspapers says: "Islamic extremist kills innocent American dog.

Not all Christians are. If you are truly happy with it I for one have no problem. I am a Catholic Christian and personally don't understand why Christians seem to have abandoned modesty as a virtue.
Peace Be With You,
