May Allah Grant You Electrons

May Allah Grant You Electrons

This meme is playing with the dual meaning of "radical" in chemistry and politics. On the left, we have a standard Lewis structure with evenly distributed electrons around the Islamic crescent symbol. On the right, the "Radical Islam" has an unpaired electron—which is exactly what makes a molecule a radical in chemistry. Chemists have been making this pun in their labs for decades while mixing volatile compounds. The real question is: does that lone electron make it more reactive or just more misunderstood?
