      Oh for the love...

      Doesn't anyone, anywhere realize that, perhaps, things have gone a bit too far?

          "I just want the sweet pastries. I have nothing to do with the name," homemaker Zohreh Masoumi told the sales clerk taking her order.

          Masoumi was promptly arrested for her lack of patriotism respect for the prophet in refusing to order freedom fries Rose of the Prophet, instead of french fries Danish pastries.

          Oh, look, they're just like us. I can just recycle my made up news bits.

          So, Danish newspapers can't print an image of Muhammad, but it's perfectly fine to name a pastry after him?

                  I've got to admit too, I was like "lmao" when I read this. This is like a petty rivalry between two kindergarten kids. "my mommy said since im not talking to u and ur from britain, that i wont call our doggy a british bulldog, but a christian hound". Please stop this ridiculous "nananana"ing.

                        French Fries ... Not really French
                        Danish Pastries ... Not really Danish
                        Iranian bakers ... Compete Idiots!
                        Then again, the freedom fries thing passed through Congress...

                                I feel ashamed at making fun of an article that is already an unintentional parody. Too easy.

                                  This is probably the most moronic thing I've seen in my life.

                                    Didn't many in the U.S. take to calling sauerkraut and other German, sausage related products silly things during WWII?

                                    I feel closer to the Iranians than ever before. . .

                                        "This is a punishment for those who started misusing freedom of expression to insult the sanctities of Islam..."

                                        This is a misuse of the term "freedom of expression" in and of itself.

                                        Americans have learned to laugh at themselves and their religions. (Mostly.) Get a life, or at least a sense of humor.

                                          This was, is and always will be an utterly retarded sort of non-sanction.
