Jewish/Muslim Nobel Prize Winners

I think you've just proved his point (not that I agreed with it...it was very stupid)

To answer the original question, firstly, Jewish people are generally very hard-working and academic. This is probably due to culture and family pressure.

Secondly, many Jewish people form Easten European countries moved to America after the holocaust and here they were awarded great opportunities. In contrast the majority of Muslims live in LEDCs where there are few opportunities.

Thirdly, it may be it is a way of compensating for years of persecution!!!

Ignoring the fact that they didn't breach the topic because they didn't want Turkish Jews to suffer at the hands of the Turkish government as a result of the recognition. Our anti-Semitic buddy over here, however, still refuses to acknowledge the fact that Turks killed a massive amount of Armenians. Rather hypocritical to whine about Israel killing 1,300 Palestinians while defending his country's murder of 1.5 million Armenians.

His point being that if he says something anti-Semitic people will call him an anti-Semite? Great point there.

Are you seriously suggesting that Jews have been winning Nobel prizes because the awarding committee feels guilty over past Jewish persecution?

Calm down, the last point was a joke.

And he didn't actually say anything anti-semetic. His point was stupid as he said 'there is bias towards Jews because they own Coca-Cola and Intel'. However it was not anti-semetic as he did not say anything against Jewish beliefs or make any statements such a 'Kill Jews', etc. I think you should look up the definition of anti-semetic.

The majority of jews live in well developed countries with access to a good education and the resources required for whatever they won a nobel prize in.
The majority of muslims however live in less developed countries and therefore dont have as many opportunities available to them

He is comically pro-muslim and massively anti-semetic as his earlier posts prove.

I'm going to have to disagree as well. A disproportionate number of 20th century Jewish Nobel Prize Laureates were refugees from Nazi Germany, or the countries it occupied.

From 1901 to 2008 there were around 750 Nobel Prizes given out to individuals. 163 of these (21.7%) were won by Jews, even though they only make up 0.0025% of the world's population.

On the other hand, only 10 of these have been won by Muslims (1.3%) even though they constitute 22% of the world's population.

That means that Jews have won the Nobel prize 90 times more than you would expect based on population, whereas Muslims have won 1/17 of the amount you would expect them to win based on population.

Can anyone explain this massive discrepancy WITHOUT BEING RACIST IN ANY WAY?

He said Jews control the US government.

This is such a pointless debate.

I wanted to know why Jews are so much better in their fields than muslims are comparatively

How is that anti semetic?

The nobel prize is just like the oscars, if it's related to the holocaust then it wins.

He said Jews control the US government and the corporations you mentioned. That attributes a joint motive to all Jews and posits the old anti-Semitic libel that Jews are deceitful and control everything from behind the scenes. FYI, Jews control neither the US government nor most of the corporations mentioned.
