Iranian bakeries rename Danish pastries
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 Mohammed."
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 Mohammed.”
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 Mohammed’ pastries,” the union said in its order.
These people are as back-asswards as the inventors of “Freedom Fries”.
