Iran Renames Danish Pastries

From Aljazeera.net:
Bakeries across the capital Tehran on Thursday were covering up the name-plates for Danish pastries after the confectioners union ordered the name change in retaliation for cartoons of Islam's revered prophet first published in a Danish newspaper.So, instead of ordering a Danish with your coffee, you'll now have to ask for a Rose of Mohammad, "gul-e-muhammadi" in Farsi. Of course, I'll not beguile myself into thinking that the protesters will stop burning down buildings. After a sugar fix from a Rose of Mohammad, the followers of the religion of peace will likely still grab their torches."Given the insults by Danish newspapers against the prophet, as of now the name of Danish pastries will give way to Rose of Mohammad pastries," the union said in its order.

Gul-e-muhammadi, eh? I'm assuming that's pronounced "goolie muhammadi". Well, in Australia here, "goolie" means testicle. So that's not very appetizing. Mohammed's testicle? Ewwww!

Well, it is about as dumb as calling french fries freedom fries. Maybe there's hope for the Iranians yet.
