Iran renames Danish pastries

IRANIANS love Danish pastries, but now when they look for the flaky dessert at the bakery, they must ask for: “Roses of the Prophet Mohammed”.

Bakeries across the capital were covering up their ads for Danish pastries after the confectioners’ union ordered the name change in retaliation for cartoons of Islam’s prophet published in a Danish newspaper.

“As of now the name of Danish pastries will give way to Rose of Mohammed pastries,” the union said.
