Well this is getting a bit silly.
When France opposed the Iraqi invasion the US Congressional Cafetria renamed French Fries as Freedom Fries. While the Germans also opposed the war they did not rename German measles (a congressinal source suggested that they wanted to name a few more ailments after dissenters but French herpes just seemed a bit over the top).
Now Iraq has renamed Danish pastries. You now need to order Roses of the Prophet Mohammad when you hit the bakery in Tehran. Also apparently (assuming Scandanavian guilt by association) Swedish meatballs will be renamed Mecca (all beef) meatballs. In what appears to be an error of interpretation they have also renamed the finish line as the line where the race ends.
