It looks like Neda Agha-Soltan, the young woman killed during the protests in Iran, may have been a Christian. If true, I’m not sure what, if any implications there might be — some have said, implausibly, that it would undermine the idea that the reformers don’t represent a real challenge to the Islamist ideology, that Mousavi is just another flavor of theocratic tyrant. I think the significance would depend on what kind of Christian she was (if any) — if she was Assyrian, say, and thus a member of a pre-Islamic Christian community, then it probably doesn’t mean much. But if she was from a Muslim ethnic group but converted to Christianity, then she might well represent the early stages of the unraveling of Islam itself in Iran.
