Now this is the kind of action I can get behind. No one gets hurt and the pastry business gets a boost from the devout. Non-violent protest and yummy goodness all in one package.

Iranians rename Danish pastries

Iranians wishing to buy Danish pastries will now have to ask for "Roses of the Prophet Muhammad".
Bakeries across the capital, Tehran, are covering up signs advertising the pastries and replacing them with ones bearing the dessert's new name.

The confectioners' union ordered the name change in retaliation for the publication of caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad in a Danish newspaper.

Guess that's better than naming them 'Mohammad Muffins'

Lol,

I saw that. Well, for once I guess they're connecting the perceived offense to its source. I did find it curious that the overall response to a danish cartoon series was to:

1. Burn American Flags.
2. Decide to attack jews.

I don't get it. 'Roses of the Prophet Muhammad' isn't blasphemous? So the pastries invented by the unholy, evil, heathen infidels, the ones who brought about all this chaos and destruction because of their wretched cartoons and freedom of expression, are likened to the roses of the holy Prophet? Aren't roses of the holy Prophet themselves holy? So... uhm... huh?

And if the pastries are roses, doesn't that mean the Danish are the Prophet Muhammad?

It's like Osama bringing out a deodorant and Americans calling it 'Jesus Smell' to make it okay to wear it.

Thanks, Geezer, I knew I was forgetting something.

Here's what I don't get. Why doesn't the news report the role of the Al Qaeda Communication network in all of these muslim shenanigans. I read about this in smaller papers, but the MSM ignores it, just as it ignores the activities of Al Qaeda in Darfur.

What!? And take away valuable airtime from the Cheney shooting accident!? Al Qaeda'a activities don't concern the safety of the American people, the VP's firearm mishaps do.

PS: I don't think my dry sense of humour comes across as humour on these message boards, so I'll resort to using >shudder< emoticons to communicate humour

(<-and other emotions). Oh, how Moliere is turning in his grave...
