Let's take a quick look at the relative contributions to the good of modern mankind between the Arabs/Islamics and the Jews. We'll use a measure independent of Arab, Islamic, Jewish, and American influence: Nobel prize winners.

Wait, how can that be a fair comparison? After all, Arabs/Islamics outnumber Jews by about 100 to 1, so they have a major opportunity advantage. The Arabs/Islamics control many wealthy countries, while the Jews have one country (two in your twisted world).

ARAB/ISLAMIC - 1,200,000,000 Muslims (or about 20% of the world’s population)
JEWISH – 14,000,000 (or about 0.2% of the world’s population)

dangoor.com

So, there have been 128 Jewish Nobel winners. Not bad. That should mean about 12,800 Arab/Islamic recipients, correct? But, wait.... only 8? Eight Arab/Islamic recipients out of 1.2 Billion possible winners? Impressive. NOT!

I think the statement at the bottom of that page explains it pretty well:

Admittedly, though, the Muslim world dwarfs the Jewish world in the number of terrorists, suicide bombers, slave traders and religious leaders calling for “holy wars”. They should spend a little more time on education, and less time on blaming the Jews for all their problems.

I think the same could be said of you, Craig.
