Let’s hope they don’t get burned…

Last week, I noted that Iran had decided to rename Danish pastries “Mohammedan” pastry as part of the Cartoon Jihad. The AP follows up the story today:

Iranians love Danish pastries, but when they look for the flaky dessert at the bakery they now have to ask for “Roses of the Prophet Muhammad.”

Bakeries across the capital were covering up their ads for Danish pastries Thursday after the confectioners’ union ordered the name change in retaliation for caricatures of the Muslim prophet published in a Danish newspaper.

“Given the insults by Danish newspapers against the prophet, as of now the name of Danish pastries will give way to ‘Rose of Muhammad’ pastries,” the union said in its order.

“This is a punishment for those who started misusing freedom of expression to insult the sanctities of Islam,” said Ahmad Mahmoudi, a cake shop owner in northern Tehran…

That’ll show us!

Emily Zanotti asks: “Why is it that they get their shorts in a knot over Muhammed cartoons, but have no qualms about eating him as a pastry?”
