TEHRAN, Iran (AP) – Iranians love Danish
\n pastries, but when they look for the flaky dessert at the bakery they
\n now have to ask for "Roses of the Prophet Muhammad."<\/p>\n

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

"Given the insults by Danish newspapers against the prophet, as of
\n now the name of Danish pastries will give way to ‘Rose of Muhammad’ pastries," the
\n union said in its order.<\/p>\n

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (DB) – In retaliation for the
\n recently announced order from the Tehran Confectioners Union that henceforth
\n all
\n Danish pastries must be refered to as "Roses of the Prophet Muhammad.",
\n the Copenhagen City Council has unanamously passed a decree that all
\n Turkish Coffee must be sold as "YoMoZaHo Coffee". In
\n addition, all iterations of the classic arcade game "PacMan" must be
\n relabeled as "Freedom of Expression Man".<\/em><\/p>\n
