Iran renames Danish pastries after prophet

“No one is allowed to make fun of our beloved and respected prophet,” Hassan Nasserzadeh, a cake shop owner in central Tehran, told Reuters.

But you can give his name to a pastry.

LOL...only a mob of "fruitcakes" would think of something like that.

you took the words out of my mouth.. how about "Nutbar"!

No one is allowed to make fun of the prophet??? Haven't they looked on-line? It's going to be tough hunting down all these "blasphers" and give them the Nick Berg treatment.

I'd rather have a plate of freedom fries.../i>

No need. Call 'em frites, which is what the Belgians named them when they invented the dish.

But, come to think of it, the Belgians may be worse of than the French nowadays. Sorta makes one think of the Battle of the Bulge as maybe a wasted effort, eh?

Would they mind if we named our paedophiles after their prophet?

Out of respect to cows, there are after all sacred to Hindus, we must rename cow patties to something more appropriate and non-offensive to one of the world's great peaceful religions. Competition is now open.

Unfreedom Fries(tm) does not quite have the same ring to it.

However, "Mo's roses" sounds kinda... rude.

"Rosebud" was allegedly Randolf Hearst's pet name for his mistress Marion Davies' private parts.

Rename cow patties....

Mohammed's Field Lillies...

Muslim Pies...

i guess they have never heard the song that say's Rose's really smell like poo poo poo.....

How about mo's dough for the cow patties.

Rose's by the singing group outkasts

"Roses" became a codeword in my immediate family (my dad's invention, I recall) at some point in my childhood with respect to the W.C. As in, "you might want to give that I minute; I left some roses in there." Numerous bad puns followed over the years. I just forwarded the MSNBC link; there will be much laughter among the tribe of Shinoliites on this one.

Any way you slice it, though, "Roses of the Prophet Mohammed" doesn't sound appetizing. Then again, I think Starbucks calls a cheese danish a "Cheesepocket," a name which probably originated in the lackadaisical laundry habits of a Pacific-Northwest commune.

Belgian buns = Mohamad cream pie

Ah, thanks Chuck: You just provided a fantastic bit of info that adds context to my previous post. I half suspected there was a pop-culture underpinning, as many of my dad's quips contain... Say, that may have been hereditary! ;)

How bout 'mo-flaky-cakes with mo-bettah-butter'.

The only roses that 'mo' ever left were the 9-year old de-flowered kind.

Yo, muslims... we're on to you. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. You've shown your ugly creed for what it is. Shame on the Ummah for showing it 10 years too early... otherwise, you would have had us!

"Roses of the prophet Mohammad".

Sounds like something that would come out of the back end of a pig when it's been eating too much corn.

When Khomeini came to power, the 'revolutionary owners' of the Kentucky Fried Chicken in Tehran changed the name to "Our Fried Chicken" and painted a long beard on Colonel Sanders and a turban on his head. All done with great pride and seriousness and absolutely NO sense of humor.

I wonder if my Bakewell tart would go down well in Tehran.

Would they mind if we named our paedophiles after their prophet?

Apparently you ain't been into one of your local state prisons lately, cuz many of them already are named Mohammed.

Peace and blessings be upon them (pbut).

Anything with Mohammad's name on it would have to be "flaky".

I always thought Danishes looked suspiciously like turbans, anyway.

Maybe they were the Scandinavian version of the Mohammedan-mocking croissant?

Islam cannot take a joke, being one.

The croissant, despite its french name, is the appropriate food with which to commemorate mohamed. As the story goes, it was created in Vienna, in the shape of the crescent, following the Battle of Vienna, to commemorate the Christian victory. Eating the croissant is, literally, eating the crescent.

This reminds me of idiots in this coutnry, pouring out their French Wine and renaming their "French Fries".

Actually, the Danes don't call them Danish pastries either. The Danish term for those pastries translates as "Vienna bread".

So the thread of evil leads us back to Astria. And we know who the most famous Austrian of the last 100 years was, don't we?

Thanks for that interesting bit of French culinary history longtime lurker.

I have always gravitated towards French croissants for some mysterious reason.

Now I know the reason why.

I will make sure to bite real hard into my next French croissant.

Maybe we can rename toilet paper as "Quranic script of the prophet Muhammed"

When Iranians ate too many Danish pastries, they vomitted and often said: I ate too many of those damn Danish pastries! Damn the Danes!

Does this now mean that when Iranians will eat too many 'Roses of the Prophet Muhammad', and they vomit as a result of their gluttony, that they will now say: I ate too many of those damn 'Roses of the Prophet Muhammad'! Damn the Prophet!

"Roses of the Prophet Muhammad"

To quote South Park:
"Gay. Totally gay. Liberace gay.".

Lisa, you beat me to it. But I do have a name for those big wet disks in the pasture. They will now and forever be known as Prophet Patties.

Provoslani: How about "Scroll of the Prophet"?

Iranians have decided to rename the “Danish pastries”, “Roses of the Prophet Muhammad,” it is a flaky pastries which dominate the shelves in Iran’s cake shops..... WHAT... They wont allow pictures of Mohammad and now they allow this,, man it just shows that they change the rules to suit themselves.
It is only a short time ago that a company was ordered to take something off the shelves because (if you really looked hard) you could see something in it that offended Muslims orsomething like that... I cannot remember what now, but someone out there will remember what it was... We will have to watch the way we look at them now or else they will call jihad on us...
