No message; just thought it would be fun to compare what these 2 peoples contributed: Demographics o World Jewish Population. 14 million o Distribution: 7m in America 5m in Asia 2m in Europe 100 thousand in Africa o World Muslim Population: 1.5 billion o Distribution: I billion in Asia/Mid-East 400 M in Africa 44 M in Europe 6 M in the Americas o Every fifth human being is a Muslim. o For every single Hindu there are two Muslims o For every Buddhist there ar e two Muslims o For every Jew there are 107 Muslims o Yet the 14 million Jews are more powerful than the entire 1.5 billion Muslims WHY? Movers of Current History o Albert Einstein Jewish o Sigmund Freud Jewish o Karl Marx Jewish o Paul Samuelson Jewish o Milton Friedman Medical Milestones o Vaccinating Needle: Benjamin Ruben Jewish o Polio Vaccine Jonas Salk Jewish o Leukaemia Drug Gertrude Elion Jewish o Hepatitis B Baruch Blumberg Jewish o Syphilis Drug Paul Ehrlich Jewish o Neuro muscular Elie Metchnikoff Jewish o Endocrinology Andrew Schally Jewish o Cognitive therapy.

Stanley Cohen Jewish o Kidney Dialysis Willem Kloffcame Jewish Nobel Prize Winners o In the past 105 years, 14 million Jews have won 180 Nobel prizes whilst 1.5 billion Muslims have contributed only 3 Nobel winners Inventions that changed History o Micro- Processing Chip.

Here's reason - Muslims do not have the capacity to produce knowledge.. compare: o In the entire Muslim World (57 Muslim Countries) there are only 500 universities. o In USA alone, 5,758 universities o In India alone, 8,407 universities o Not one university in the entire Islamic World featured in the Top 500 Ranking Universities of the World o Literacy in the Christian World 90% o Literacy in the Musl im World 40% o 15 Christian majority-countries, literacy rate 100% o Muslim majority - countries , None o 98% in Christian countries completed primary o Only 50% in Muslim countries completed primary. o 40% in Christian countries attended university o In Muslim countries a dismal 2% attended. o Muslim majority countries have 230 scientists per one million Muslims o The USA has 5000 per million o The Christian world 1000 technicians per million. o Entire Arab World only 50 technicians per million. o Muslim World spends on research/developmen t 0.2% of GDP o Christian World spends 5 % of GDP Conclusion. The Muslim World lacks the capacity to produce knowledge. Another way of testing the degree of knowledge is the degree of diffusing knowledge. o Pakistan 23 daily newspapers per 1000 citizens o Singapore 460 per 1000 citizens. o In UK book titles per million is 2000 o In Egypt book titles per million is only 17 Conclusion: The Muslim World is failing to diffuse knowledge Applying Knowledge is another such test. o Exports of high tech products from Pakistan is 0.9% of its exports. o In Saudi Arabia is 0.2% o Kuwait, Morocco and Algeria 0.3% o Singapore alone is 68% Conclusion. The Muslim World is failing to apply knowledge. _________________________________________________________________________ Appalling comparison, is it not? Happy Holidays, all
I stand corrected - Muslims clearly contributed to the World's progress in the field of Algebra. Nice
and all physics equations invented by Einstein and others use algebra. So, all of their work is partly thanks to a Muslim.
Pretty near ALL of the heart and thoracic surgeons in my middle-sized community are Palestinian or Lebanese.
Last I heard, it takes the acquisition of quite of bit of knowledge to dig into somebody's chest and put them back together again. That knowledge isn't exactly passed down in some oral tradition.
You're missing the point of my post, PB. These wonderful heart and thoracic surgeons of Palestinian or Lebanese ancestry did not invent the procedures, but acquired the knowledge and skills invented by someone else, and certainly not in Palestinian or Lebanese skruls but most likely, American. So, for the purpose of my post, they contributed nothing to the World's progress.
As has sort of been hinted at, the Islamic nations were once quite advanced and I believe at the forefront of a number of fields of knowledge. But then, more or less, the fanatics took over and whacked the non-violent sorts. It is a bit of a nitpick but the invention list is misleading in that you're attributing a component of the more significant invention or a group project to an individual. But beyond that, are you attempting to get people riled up against both groups or what?
No, actually. Mine posting this is a public service to all Muslims; after all, the list has been compiled by the Muslim for the Muslims and on a Muslim board as a "come on guys, Muslims are failing - we can, and should do better". So, with your insinuation, you have stepped right into it. Happy New Year http://www.123muslim.com/islamic-articles/10277-muslim-jewish-comparison.html
