(2006-02-17) — In a dramatic escalation of the conflict over cartoons, first published in Denmark, depicting a connection between terrorism and the founder of Islam, Iranian bakeries that retaliated this week by renaming Danish pastries as “Roses of the Prophet Muhammad,” today expanded the offensive by giving new names to baked goods associated with America.
The official Iranian Bakery News Agency announced that donuts will now be called “Bullet in the Face of the Great Satan”, and donut holes labeled “Beheaded Infidels.”
The Iranian chapter of the Brotherhood of Muslim Bakers, will take up debate today on whether to retaliate against France for its foreign minister’s accusations that Iran’s nuclear energy program is a cover for weapons development.
“All options are on the table,” said an unnamed spokesman for the Muslim bakers’ group. “If France wants the éclair to retain its traditional name, then it will muzzle the foreign minister to prevent his lies about our legitimate efforts to find a cheap, abundant source of electricity.”
