TEHRAN, Iran - 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.

What puzzles me the most is that if Islam is such a peace loving religion why do muslims kill soooo many people?:wacko:

I heard on the news (cable) that most of the people that are protesting over there are illiterate. So, when they see a picture, like the one in the Danish newpaper, they don't know how to interpret in correctly.
