Islamic biology explained
by Omid Hast on Thu Jul 29, 2010 12:19 AM PDTThe two single-cell germs on the left are flesh-eating bacteria, but the one on the right is a harmless and beneficial bacteria, which outnumber the harmful varieties, but the harmful ones keep eating at them. That’s why the flesh-eating germs are shown here as mullahs.
Disclaimer: Any resemblance of flesh-eating bacteria to any thugs, or any seyyeds with black turbans is coincidental.
Proper introduction
by Shifteh Ansari on Wed Jul 28, 2010 05:12 PM PDTWhat kind of bacteria are the other two? They look different. Biology having never been my subject of knowledge or interest, I will only include my one social observation about the two thug/bacteria here:
It appears that they are both "seyyed's" with their black tubans.

by yolanda on Wed Jul 28, 2010 01:45 PM PDTThank you for your great cartoon. It sums up IRI's obsession with hijab and "everything has to be Islamic" mentality!
3 years ago, I ran into a Samoan with the name "Pili" at work......OMG! His parents named him after a bacterial term!
