The Jews are not demonstrating with their dead on the streets, yelling and chanting and asking for revenge, the Jews are not promoting brain washing the children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non Muslims. The Jews don't highjack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics, the Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels.
The Jews don't have the economical strength of the Petroleum, nor the possibilities to force the world's media to see "their side" of the question. Perhaps if the world's Muslims could invest more in normal education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems, we could all live in a better world.
THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!
BUMP!
The Jews made the most of themselves while in exile in the west. I doubt the same will be said of the large populations of Muslims in the west.
And when you consider that one of the winning Arabs was Yassir Arafat who received the Peace Prize . . .
"Absolutely breathtaking".
Sums it up perfectly.
Yes, subtract that outrageous one for a revolting, weasely, lying, terrorist POS.
You left out Albert Camus for the 1957 Nobel Prize for literature. He was an French Muslim Algerian origin.
Yes, truly impressive, but consider that Jews have been shut out of these awards since 1994. Growing anti-semitism?
A Nobel Prize is one thing. But Pastrami on rye...now THAT'S an accomplishment to be proud of!
I am not the one who wrote this :)
Mrmmm...Can't we have both?
Yes - it's exactly what we're intended to do - shed light on the path.
(Of course we build it, put in safety features, illuminate...)
Weinberg and Glashow shared the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics with Abdus Salam who was a Pakastani and devout Muslim. The prize was for the standard model of electro-weak interactions which is one of the most important developments in modern physics.
I'd say the Jews are folks to be admired for intelligence and for positive contributions to humanity.
This is an important point to remember. Once given the chance in the West, the Jews rose to the occasion and propelled the their adopted countries forward.
As for spyone, I'm not sure. There clearly are a few Noble Prizes for Jews since 1994. Though there did seem to be a dry period. Had to happen sooner or later. We're back in the groove!
Even more breathtaking that Yassir (Nossir, that's my baby) Arafat won a PEACE prize. That's like giving Freddie Krueger the Sominex sleep-well award.
Actually, Camus was French on his father's side and Spanish on his mother's. He was even baptised a Catholic, although he became an Atheist as an adult. He was born and raised in Algeria, but was neither Arab nor Muslim.
Chosen at random from the list of 'muslim' Nobel Prize winners I Googled and found this:
Peter Medawar – Biography
Peter Brian Medawar was born on February 28, 1915, in Rio de Janeiro. He is the son of a business man who is a naturalized British subject, born in the Lebanon.
Medawar was educated at Marlborough College, England, where he went in 1928. Leaving this College in 1932, he went to Magdalen College, Oxford, to study zoology under Professor J. Z. Young. After taking his bachelor's degree at Oxford, Medawar worked for a time at Sir Howard Florey's School of Pathology at Oxford and there became interested in research in fields of biology that are related to medicine.
In 1935 he was appointed Christopher Welch Scholar and Senior Demonstrator at Magdalen College, Oxford, and in 1938 he became, by examination, a Fellow of Magdalen College. In 1942 he was Rolleston Prizeman and in 1944 he became Senior Research Fellow of St John's College, Oxford, and University Demonstrator in zoology and comparative anatomy. In 1946 he was elected a Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford, and in 1947 he was appointed Mason Professor of Zoology at the University of Birmingham. In 1951 he moved to London as Jodrell Professor of Zoology at University College, London. Here he remained until 1962, when he was appointed Director of the National Institute for Medical Research, London...read more...

Looks like either a British Catholic or Protestant to me.
I think his ties to islam would be very very thin...I'm tempted now to check out the bio's of all the others as well, no offense meant to Thunderpilot...
Great info. Thanks.
And the other one, Anwar Sadat - who I happen to think was destined for greatness - they assasinated.
Corey, Elias James (1928-)
My birth in July 1928 in Methuen, Massachusetts was followed just eighteen months later by the death of my father, Elias, a successful business man in that community 30 miles north of Boston. My mother, Fatina (née Hasham), changed my name from William to Elias shortly after my father's passing. I do not remember my father, but all his friends and associates made it clear that he was a remarkably gifted and much admired person. I have always been guided by a desire to be a worthy son to the father I cannot remember and to the loving, courageous mother who raised me, my brother, and two sisters through the trials of the Depression and World War II.
My grandparents on both sides, who emigrated from Lebanon to the United States, also knew how to cope with adversity, as Christians in a tragically torn country, under the grip of the Ottoman empire. In 1931, our family grew to include my mother's sister, Naciby, and her husband, John Saba, who had no children of their own. We all lived together in a spacious house in Methuen, still a gathering place for family reunions. My uncle and aunt were like second parents to us. As a youngster I was rather independent, preferring such sports as football, baseball and hiking to work.

Good point. In total contrast with Arafat, Sadat really did take a huge risk for peace, and was murdered for it by fellow Arabs.
Superb post! Let's send it to CAIR.
Interesting that now the same substantial productivity they have always been known for is being uprooted in Gush Katif—by other Jews.
A student told his professor he was going to "Palestine" to "fight for freedom, peace and justice,"—Orwellian leftist code words that mean "murder Jews."

The Nature Of Bruce ~
must have been that "affirmative action for Jews" program....
oh yeah, there wasn't any....just massive persecution and a holocaust.....
I love when I read the affirmative action term "under-represented", like....if 30% of the area's popluation is African American, shouldnt they have 30% of the phd's??? Duh.......by that theory, other groups are "over-represented"....and should be thrown out of whatever they've achieved.
Who was the African woman who got one last year who believes AIDS in an American plot?
IIRC the Jews did have their own terrorist organizations whist creating an environment for nationhood.
The estimate of islamics is high by perhaps 200 - 400 million.
However I totally disagree with this kind of categorization but you forgot to add 2003 Nobel winner name (Shirin Ebadi) from Iran to the list
This list misses many others!
All I can say is NHL vs. NBA.
I don't know what to say, however I'm LMAO!
Albert Camus was born in Mondovi, Algeria, into a working-class family. Camus's mother, Catherine Hélène Sintés, was an illiterate cleaning woman. She came from a family of Spanish origin. Lucien Auguste Camus, his father, was an itinerant agricultural laborer. He died of his wounds in 1914 after the Battle of the Marne - Camus was less than a year old at that time. His body was never sent to Algeria. During the war, Catherine Hélène worked in a factory. She was partly deaf, due to a stroke that permanently impaired her speech, but she was able to read lips. In their home "things had no names", as Camus later recalled. But he loved his mother intensely: "When my mother's eyes were not resting on me, I have never been able to look at her without tears springing into my eyes."
In 1923 Camus won a scholarship to the lycée in Algiers, where he studied from 1924 to 1932. Incipient tuberculosis put an end to his athletic activities. The disease was to trouble Camus for the rest of his life. Between the years 1935 and 1939 Camus held various jobs in Algiers. He also joined the Communist Party, but his interest in the works of Marx and Engels was rather superficial. More important writers in his circle were André Malraux and André Gide...etc etc...

Born in Algiers to parents from Spain and France - the only connection to islam I can see is they were so poor they lived near arabs...
Thank you for doing that research!
If the lack of Muslim winners isn't bad enough, one of their few winners, Naguib Mahfouz for Literature, is banned many Muslim places, has been threatened by Death Fatwas, and was attacked and stabbed in the neck.

"Many of Mahfouz's works have been banned in the (The area around the eastern Mediterranean; from Turkey to northern Africa and eastward to Iran; the site of such ancient civilizations as Phoenicia and Babylon and Egypt and the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity and Islam; had continuous economic and) Middle East for alleged blasphemy.

As a result, in 1994 – some 35 years after the fatwa was issued – Mahfouz was attacked and stabbed in the neck by two extremists outside his Cairo home, at the age of 83. He now lives under constant bodyguard protection. When a fatwa was issued against (British writer of novels who was born in India; one of his novels is regarded as blasphemous by Muslims and a fatwa was issued condemning him to death (born in 1947)) Salman Rushdie in 1989, Abdul-Rahman said that it would not have been necessary had the death sentence he had issued against Mahfouz been carried out."

AHMED ZEWAIL, BIOGRAPHY (SNIP)... I had to obtain a scholarship directly from an American University. After corresponding with a dozen universities, the University of Pennsylvania and a few others offered me scholarships, providing the tuition and paying a monthly stipend (some $300). There were still further obstacles against travel to America ("Safer to America"). It took enormous energy to pass the regulatory and bureaucratic barriers.
Arriving in the States, I had the feeling of being thrown into an ocean. The ocean was full of knowledge, culture, and opportunities, and the choice was clear: I could either learn to swim or sink. The culture was foreign, the language was difficult, but my hopes were high. I did not speak or write English fluently, and I did not know much about western culture in general, or American culture in particular. I remember a "cultural incident" that opened my eyes to the new traditions I was experiencing right after settling in Philadelphia. In Egypt, as boys, we used to kid each other by saying "I'll kill you", and good friends often said such phrases jokingly. I became friends with a sympathetic American graduate student, and, at one point, jokingly said "I'll kill you". I immediately noticed his reserve and coolness, perhaps worrying that a fellow from the Middle East might actually do it!
My presence - as the Egyptian at Penn - was starting to be felt by the professors and students as my scores were high, and I also began a successful course of research. I owe much to my research advisor, Professor Robin Hochstrasser, who was, and still is, a committed scientist and educator. The diverse research problems I worked on, and the collaborations with many able scientists, were both enjoyable and profitable. My publication list was increasing, but just as importantly, I was learning new things literally every day - in chemistry, in physics and in other fields. The atmosphere at the Laboratory for Research on the Structure of Matter (LRSM) was most stimulating and I was enthusiastic about researching in areas that crossed the disciplines of physics and chemistry (sometimes too enthusiastic!). My courses were enjoyable too; I still recall the series 501, 502, 503 and the physics courses I took with the Nobel Laureate, Bob Schrieffer. I was working almost "day and night," and doing several projects at the same time: The Stark effect of simple molecules; the Zeeman effect of solids like NO2- and benzene; the optical detection of magnetic resonance (ODMR); double resonance techniques, etc. Now, thinking about it, I cannot imagine doing all of this again, but of course then I was "young and innocent".
The research for my Ph.D. and the requirements for a degree were essentially completed by 1973, when another war erupted in the Middle East. I had strong feelings about returning to Egypt to be a University Professor, even though at the beginning of my years in America my memories of the frustrating bureaucracy encountered at the time of my departure were still vivid. With time, things change, and I recollected all the wonderful years of my childhood and the opportunities Egypt had provided to me. Returning was important to me, but I also knew that Egypt would not be able to provide the scientific atmosphere I had enjoyed in the U.S. A few more years in America would give me and my family two opportunities: First, I could think about another area of research in a different place (while learning to be professorial!). Second, my salary would be higher than that of a graduate student, and we could then buy a big American car that would be so impressive for the new Professor at Alexandria University! I applied for five positions, three in the U.S., one in Germany and one in Holland, and all of them with world-renowned professors. I received five offers and decided on Berkeley...
