<Why the Muslims are so upset... 19.6 percent of the world's population (1.2 billion people) are Muslims. The following Muslims have won Nobel Prizes... > Nikita, that's ridiculous. You are saying there is a causal relationship between the number of Nobel Prizes given by those who decide the award and upset of a religious group because of that. How many Chinese got Nobel prizes? How many Indians? There are well over 2 billion of them. Those Chinese and Indians must be really upset if your theory is correct. How many Catholics are there and how many Catholics have won Nobel prizes? I guess few Catholics. I suppose that's why Catholics are upset by Jews if your theory is right. Mqurice

Why the Muslims are so upset. Islamists are upset but not because there aren't a lot of muslim Nobel winners. Islamists are, like a lot of fascists, enemies of modernism. And science and all the things emblemized by the Nobels are the vanguard of modernism. Islamists are focused on the unreality of establishing a medieval caliphate over all the world and that goal can't coexist with science, democracy, which in their reality contradict the Islamic vision. Islamists are probably pleased there are so few muslim Nobel winners. Lots of muslims are probably upset there are so few muslim Nobel winners but not for the reasons you are probably inferring. They are probably upset because their governments aren't providing the educational institutions that would allow them to educate possible Nobel prize winners.

have won Nobel Prizes. The world we live in was invented by a small group of men of European extraction, of which a high percentage were Jewish. If people don't like that fact, they can take their complaint to the source of the universe.
