Pig-Faced Prophet?

It has been widely reported that the Danish Imam, now cited as having stirred up the worldwide Muslim temper-tantrum over the Mohammed cartoons, added three of his own cartoons to those published by the Danish papers in an effort to gin up the controversy. Brit Hume reports that one of the images used by the not-so-great Dane wasn't a cartoon at all:

Last night we told you that Danish Imam Ahmed Abu Laban used unpublished images of Muhammad — in addition to the cartoons published in a Danish newspaper — to inflame public opinion in the Middle East. One of those, purported to portray the Prophet Mohammad with a pig face was actually an AP photograph of a contestant in a hog calling contest in France wearing a pink pig snout and fake ears.

An aide to the imam tells the Brussels Journal the additional pictures were meant to provide insight into "how hateful the atmosphere in Denmark is towards Muslims."
And how's this for getting back at the Danes:
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.

And what if one of these pastries comes out looking like it's namesake? Do we have to cut off the baker's head?
