Still don't think the Mullahs over there have quite mastered the "humor" thing.

Not mastered, but if true, a giant step forward.

Tehran, 7 Feb. (AKI) - Iran has decided to rename Danish pastries "Mohammedan" pastry - a new twist in the crisis which has triggered protest by Muslims throughout the world against cartoons of Mohammed first published in Denmark. The name change recalls when some Americans started calling French fries, "Freedom fries" to protest France's opposition to the United States-led invasion of Iraq.

Quid pro quo ... Rename Mohammed "cheese danish"?
