I guess the same as the Americans would do if they found out that a
dead and presumed Christian person turned out to be Muslim.

As far as I can tell, the only evidence presented for her being a
Christian is a picture with what looks like an obscured crucifix
around her neck. There's no suggestion that she was a Christian in any
of the other biographical material available on the net, nor that she
was particularly into Islam either. Most probably she was a modern,
secular woman of the sort that will eventually take over in Iran, as
history shows is happening everywhere in the world. The religious
crazies are mainly propped up by playing on hatred of the West, and
would be as disappointed if the US and Israel stopped attacking them
as Al Gore would be if climate change turned out to be wrong.
