A pilus (plural : pili), also called fimbra, is a hairlike appendage found on the surface of many bacteria.  This appendage ranges from 3-10 nanometers in diameter and can be up to several micrometers long.

Caption translation: You shamless bad hijab, cover up your hair!

Islamic biology explained

by Omid Hast on

The 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

What 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.

Thank 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!
