Because these pastries are no longer known as danishes.
Iranians wishing to buy Danish pastries will now have to ask for “Roses of the Prophet Muhammad”.
Bakeries across the capital, Tehran, are covering up signs advertising the pastries and replacing them with ones bearing the dessert’s new name.
The confectioners’ union ordered the name change in retaliation for the publication of caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad in a Danish newspaper.
The images have caused angry protests across the world.
The union said that their decision was prompted by the “insults by Danish newspapers against the Prophet”.

Hey if french fries can be called freedom fries then why not ‘ROses of the Prophet Muahmmad’? Althoguh I agree that is too long a name and my craving would be over before I could ask for a dozen of them.
I also believe it is silly to use Prophet Muhammad :saw: as part of the name for a pastry. They have gotten carried away.

Yea and the funny thing is, french fries don't have anything to do with France. The reason they're called that is because the technique used to cut the patatoes to make fries is called "frenching".
