The Nobel Prize Committee Is Controlled by the Jews - Obviously!
We have come to learn of the problems Muslims have with intellectual achievement. We have come to learn that Islam's the greatest fear of all is that some Muslim, somewhere, sometime, will ask some pesky questions that might possibly result in (gasp!) CHANGE. We have learned that since the Koran is is literal, dictated Word of Allah, it is perfect, and therefore cannot be changed. By Allah, when the Koran says that Muslims have one intestine and the infidel has seven, that's that! Questions? Of course not! After all, as they say in Islam, any knowledge worth knowing is already in the Koran, and since that knowledge is from Allah himself, to change it would be a sin.
Here are some everyday examples of ways the Islamic prohibition against thinking, knowledge, and change affects the everyday lives and opportunities for achievement among Muslims:
1) In the Arab world, the illiteracy rate, depending on your source, is between 50% and 80%.
2) In Europe, the number of books per person is ten times greater than the number of books per person in the Muslim Middle East and Africa combined.
3) The number of books translated into Arabic in the last ONE THOUSAND (1000) years is equal to the number of books translated into Spanish alone in ONE (1) year.
4) Between 1980 and 1999, the number of patents from Arab countries registered in the United States was 370. During that same time period, the number of patents from South Korea alone was 16,328.
5) At Google headquarters in Silicon Valley, there is a large world map with lights that shows the number of searches going on at any particular moment. The whole world is bright, except for the region stretching from Morocco to the border of India, where it is almost completely dark (well - throw in North Korea for good measure).
6) In the Arab world, the number of computers per 1000 people is 18; the number of computers per person world wide, including poor nations, is 78 per 1000.
7) When the "outsourcing" of hi-tech jobs was discussed at a meeting in Davos, Switzerland, countries as diverse as India, China, Mexico, and Ireland were discussed. Countries in the Arab world are not considered at all, because they don't have the infrastructure or the educational level to support such work.
In short, Islam, with its pronounced fear of, and antipathy for, change, is the most profoundly, ferociously, and viciously anti-intellectual, anti-knowledge philosophy in the world. As a result, the minds of its followers are in a high-security prison. They can't think, ask questions, or pursue insights, for fear of being declared "immoral" and punished as such.
Most of them, in their most human of hearts and minds, would love to be more like the rest of the world, but that would require fundamental changes in Islam itself, changes so profound that we would no longer recognize it as the same entity. No one has ever accused the Arabs of being dumb. It's their system, Islam, not their brains, that causes their problems.
We know that Muslims, with their primitive Bedouin sense of what passes for self-esteem, suffer greatly when they look at the rest of the world and see the achievements of the intellect going on "out there." That's one of the reasons for their temper tantrums.
In order to try to compensate for what they are forbidden by Islam to achieve intellectually, they reach back to a period of intellectual achievement that was there before Islam even existed, and try to try to lay claim to the credit for accomplishments that had their origin 700 years earlier. These accomplishments were the products of the students of the Greek philosophers who came to the still pagan Arabs in the footsteps of Alexander the Great.
When Mohammed struck, a few Muslims, who were not yet dedicated followers of the format ofIslam we see today, rode for a while on the coattails of the Greek philosophers; they made some significant contributions, and then were quickly and completely stamped out by the mullahs. Islam did not have a "Golden Age," as it so fraudulantly claims, but was, in fact, responsible for the demise of what was left of a previously-existing brilliant scholarly community when it took over those territories.
From that time on, the freedom to think, and to achieve intellectually, began a rapid decline towards death.
A few nights ago, I had consumed my Starbuck's a little too late in the day; while I was waiting for the caffeine to wear off so I could get some sleep, I was wandering around the Blogosphere, and somewhere, I ran into a list that compared the number of Muslim Nobel Prize winners to the number of Jewish Nobel Prize winners. I got sleepy just about then, and didn't save it, and my efforts to find it notwithstanding, I couldn't find it again; with gratitude to Jason, though, I am able to present it here for your edification and entertainment, to say nothing of Muslim "humiliation."
Here it is, in its entirety:
INTELLECTUAL OUTPUT FROM THE [ARAB] MUSLIM WORLD
ARAB / ISLAMIC NOBEL WINNERS
From a pool of 1.4 BILLION Muslims, 20% of World's Population (2 out of every 10 people) :
Literature
Najib Mahfooz 1988*.

* Najib was stabbed in the back by Egyptian Moslem fundamentalists in 1997 because he supported the Peace Process between the Arabs ("Palestinians") and Israelis. Najib was partially paralyzed as a result.
**The Norwegians played an ugly joke on the world by pretending Arafat was a Man of Peace.
Note: Elias James Corey (Chemistry 1990), Peter Brian Medawar (Medicine 1960) and Ferid Mourad (Medicine 1998) are Nobel Prize winners but are Arab-Christians, not Muslims.
Kaare Kristiansen was a member of the Nobel Committee. He resigned in 1994 to protest the awarding of a Nobel "Peace Prize" to Yasser Arafat, whom he correctly labeled a "terrorist."

There are a mere 12 Million Jews in the entire world, yet they have received 169 Nobel Prizes.The Muslims number 1.4 Billion (with a very big "B")... or 117 times the number of Jews! Based upon this 117:1 Muslim-to-Jewish ratio, one might expect the Muslims to have 22,260 Nobel Laureates.They have SEVEN! and one of them [Arafat] is a murderer (Allahu Akbar, indeed!).
Unless the Swedes and Norwegians start awarding Nobel Prizes for plane hijackings, pizza shop bombings, civilian bus attacks, Jihad suicides/homicides, drive-by shootings, throat-slittings, embassy attacks and other such acts of barbarism, the embarrassingly low level of contributions to the welfare of Civilization and Mankind by the [Arab] Muslim world will continue. The Jewish People, meanwhile, will continue being the Lights Unto All Nations.
Here are some everyday examples of ways the Islamic prohibition against thinking, knowledge, and change affects the everyday lives and opportunities for achievement among Muslims:

*************
Cubed here: If we add to the spectacular numbers of Jewish Nobel Laureates the Nobel Prizes awarded to other Infidels, then the dearth of Muslim Nobel Prize winners is even more embarrassing to our Muslim friends.
From a similar list of Jewish Nobel Laureates from another site , there is this comment nicely summing up some other, equally embarrassing differences between Jews and Muslims:
"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."

Recently I read "On Arrogance" while surfing another blog. The writer reminding us that arrogance comes from the word arrogate:
ar·ro·gate (ăr'ə-gāt')
tr.v., -gat·ed, -gat·ing, -gates.
To take or claim for oneself without right; appropriate: Presidents who have arrogated the power of Congress to declare war. [their italics]
"But to arrogate to oneself, or one’s tribe, or one’s culture, specific contributions that are in reality sadly lacking says more for one’s deficits than it does for any purported accomplishments. The Greeks called it hubris and predicted dire consequences for those so afflicted. Shakespeare was also big on proving the consequences of hubris. His usual dramaturgic solution was to have everyone dead by the fifth act — not counting, of course, the one person left standing to explain it all.
Many countries besides the Soviet Union have done this. France, for instance. In all probability though, France's greatest invention is the faux pas. John Kerry particularly prefers this term to the Latinate prevarication. Can’t say as I blame him, especially if one’s claims to virtue are of the heroic, valorous variety and one is prone to throwing military medals around."
In this case, Muslims are also playing the victim. They can't win because Jews "control the world." One should realize that Islam considers Chritians to be a sect of Judaism, thus together various Jewish sects control the world and are out to destroy Islam.
Ironically, Islam has set out to convert (revert) the entire world. This is the stated goal of the jihadists. Thus, their claim that the Nobel Prize (and everything else) is controlled to thwart them, is merely a tactic like suicide bombing, misinformation, spying, and so on.
They know their enemy: he victim card works well in the West against the feelings of guilt harbored the breasts of many.

Beautifully said. Right on target. Reality and Islam are not on friendly terms.

Please allow me to add my modest update to your post: there were even fewer Muslim Nobel prize winners than you think.

This myth about Islamic "contributions" to intellectual advancement is a burr under my saddle, much as the myth of an idyllic, tolerant Islamic occupied Spain is.
They had two chances to join the rest of the world after the paradigm-shifting thinking that began with the Greek philosophers (especially Aristotle), and they blew both of them.
Very early in their history, before Islam had ossified into what we see today, the Mu'tazilites were on the road to reason. Not too much later, however, the fundamentalist Ash'arites won the battle for control of what Islam was to "look like" from then on, and that was that - almost. Not too long after that, a Spanish-born Muslim scholar (and "closet Aristotelian") called Averroes (Spanish name) or Ibn Rushd (Arab name) wrote extensively on Aristotle.
He was severely punished for his "un-Islamic" writings by his colleagues, who tried to destroy his works. That was the last "fork in the road" to reason for Islam, but they chose to take the other fork.
When the Spanish kicked out the Muslims, they found copies still in some of the libraries that the fundamentalists hadn't reached yet. These copies were translated and made their way to Italy, where Thomas Acquinas popularized them.
That was the starting point for the Renaissance, and lead all the way to our Constitution and statements such as that of George Washington during his speech proclaiming the First Thanksgiving in 1789 (which was not the harvest festival of the Pilgrims, but rather, in gratitude for the ratification of the Constitution - yet another burr under my saddle...) in praise, among other things, of science, knowledge and material prosperity.
I have a (sort of brief) piece on why Islam is such a failure at
http://www.6thcolumnagainstjihad.com/a_cubed_p1.htm , if you'd care to read it. It explains a bit how they came to take the anti-intellectual path that they did, and why any advances they claim to make are due not to creativity and innovation, but to theft.
Theft, of course, explains how Pakistan got it's information on nuclear weapons. There was no Pakistani in the Manhatten Project, and they had no equivalent program of their own.
Anyone - even a Muslim - can derive some benefit from learning about the achievements of others; one need not know how to invent a car in order to drive one. Innovation is a forbidden concept in Islam, and the people are paralyzed intellectually because of it.
I've always thought that the life and times of Ibn Rushd (along with all that it subsumed) would made a terrific movie.

I have to disagree with the poster of this thread.
Muslims may be behind in scientific research and development now but in the past years they were the beacon of knowledge during the European dark ages. You say so little books were translated into arabic in the past 1000 years that is because the only books being written were the arabic books and they were being translated to other languages.
You need to remember that till 200 years ago, the medical book of Ibn Sina was the definitive book to be taught to medicine students...that book lived for hundreds of years and was still being taught as the most complete medical source present. The structure of the eye, the idea behind the camera, they all came out of Islam. The greatest mathematical achievements were made by muslims mathematicians. The zero was an arabic invention and the list could go on forever.
Please get your facts straight before posting such lies. I do agree with you that muslims are primative right now, but it's not their religion that holds them back, it's their own mindset.
btw, there's a movie about Ibn Rushd which is terrific indeed, but it's in arabic though.

Breathe,
You are really reaching to try to put lipstick on the pig. Your facts about scientific creativity of Muslims are just plain wrong. You also do not grasp the role of ideas in directing human endeavor with "...I do agree with you that muslims are primative right now, but it's not their religion that holds them back, it's their own mindset." For the record, it IS THEIR RELIGION THAT HOLDS THEM BACK BECAUSE IT IS THEIR MINDSET. It is you who should set aside your emotions and take a good look at the facts.
Another fact is that early Islamia showed promise because of the ability of scholars to explore and discuss many sources of knowledge of the times. That included the great mathematical discoveries from India (including the zero) and much from Greek philosophy. These scholars, using their free minds, began questioning the absurdities that are Islam. The counter-reaction from the religious leaders and the caliphs literally annihilated the early Muslim scholars to put an end to questioning. All of this occurred around 900 A.D. when Islam became ossified into static doctrine.
In the distant reaches of Islamia, namely in Spain, some Muslim scholars could work in relative peace, out of sight, out of mind, so to speak. Eventually, the faith-force link of Islam finished them off, including Ibn Rushd. Thus the flowering of Islamia died a stillbirth.

Hi Breathe,
If you do not know about the outside world,please step out of Islam.
An Indian called Aryabhatta invented ZERO, an Indian called sushrutha performed open heart surgery 3000 years ago. And you say some islamic book was used as a guide??
Eren Erol,
You throw yourself out of the discussion by saying "islam brings peace" !!!! LOL
