In 2012 Kennedy converted to Islam and announced her conversion at the headquarters of the Palestine Scholars Association in Gaza City. She was reported to have taken the name Khadija Hasan, Khadija being the name of the first wife and follower of the Prophet Muhammad.



The story was reported on the website of Al-Qassam, the military wing of Hamas, the militant group that controls Gaza.

Kennedy, who is married to a Palestinian man, sometimes refers to herself as Anne Hasan-Kennedy. She describes herself on LinkedIn as a former teacher and police officer, who now teachers in a PRU.

In a GoFundMe page, which has now been taken down, she was raising money to allow her to unite with her husband, Yousef Hasan, who at the time was in Gaza, having been denied a visa to the UK three times.

Wadsworth denied his actions were anti-Semitic, but was expelled for bringing the party into disrepute.
