Pastry Be Upon Him

Taking a cue from The Great Satan's liberty cabbage and freedom fries, the nutjob mullahs running Iran are showing their displeasure over the Mohammed cartoons first published in Denmark by renaming food:

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.

Silly? Yes. But at least they aren't burning anything. At least not today. You can't draw an image of someone whose been dead 1,400 years, but you can honor him by naming a dessert after him.

BaT officially declares the Islamofascists have jumped the shark.
