Why
  are Jews so powerful? AND Why are Muslims so powerless?

Why
  are Jews so powerful?

There are only
  14 million Jews in the world; seven million in the

Americas

.
  For every single Jew in the world there are 100 Muslims. Yet, Jews are more
  than a hundred times more powerful than all the Muslims put together. Ever
  wondered why?

Jesus of

Nazareth

was Jewish.
  Albert Einstein, the most influential scientist of all time and TIME magazine’s
  ‘Person of the Century’, was a Jew. Sigmund Freud — id, ego, superego — the
  father of psychoanalysis was a Jew. So were Karl Marx, Paul Samuelson and
  Milton Friedman.

Here are a few
  other Jews whose intellectual output has enriched the whole humanity:
  Benjamin Rubin gave humanity the vaccinating needle. Jonas Salk developed the
  first polio vaccine. Alert Sabin developed the improved live polio vaccine.
  Gertrude Elion gave us a leukaemia fighting drug. Baruch Blumberg developed
  the vaccination for Hepatitis B. Paul Ehrlich discovered a treatment for
  syphilis (a sexually transmitted disease). Elie Metchnikoff won a

 Nobel Prize in infectious diseases.

Bernard Katz won
  a Nobel Prize in neuromuscular transmission. Andrew Schally won a Nobel in
  endocrinology (disorders of the endocrine system; diabetes, hyperthyroidism).
  Aaron Beck founded Cognitive Therapy (psychotherapy to treat mental
  disorders, depression and phobias). Gregory Pincus developed the first oral
  contraceptive pill. George Wald won a Nobel for furthering our understanding
  of the human eye.

Stanley

  Cohen won a Nobel in embryology (study of embryos and their development).
  Willem Kolff came up with the kidney dialysis machine.

Over the past
  105 years, 14 million Jews have won 15-dozen Nobel Prizes while only three
  Nobel Prizes have been won by 1.4 billion Muslims (other than Peace Prizes).

Why are Jews so
  powerful?

Stanley

  Mezor invented the first micro-processing chip. Leo Szilard developed the
  first nuclear chain reactor. Peter Schultz, optical fibre cable; Charles
  Adler, traffic lights; Benno Strauss, Stainless steel; Isador Kisee, sound
  movies; Emile Berliner, telephone microphone and Charles Ginsburg, videotape
  recorder.

Famous
  financiers in the business world who belong to Jewish faith include Ralph
  Lauren (Polo),

Levis

  Strauss (Levi’s Jeans), Howard Schultz (Starbuck’s), Sergey Brin (Google),
  Michael Dell (Dell Computers), Larry Ellison (Oracle), Donna Karan (DKNY),
  Irv Robbins (Baskins & Robbins) and Bill Rosenberg (Dunkin Donuts).

Richard Levin,
  President of Yale University, is a Jew. So are Henry Kissinger (American
  secretary of state), Alan Greenspan (fed chairman under Reagan, Bush, Clinton
  and Bush),

Joseph

Lieberman,
  Madeleine Albright (American secretary of state), Casper Weinberger (American
  secretary of defence), Maxim Litvinov (USSR foreign Minister), David Marshal
  (Singapore’s first chief minister), Issac Isaacs (governor-general of
  Australia), Benjamin Disraeli (British statesman and author), Yevgeny Primakov
  (Russian PM), Barry Goldwater, Jorge Sampaio (president of Portugal), John
  Deutsch (CIA director), Herb Gray (Canadian deputy PM), Pierre Mendes (French
  PM), Michael Howard (British home secretary), Bruno Kreisky (chancellor of
  Austria) and Robert Rubin (American secretary of treasury).

In the media,
  famous Jews include Wolf Blitzer (CNN), Barbara Walters (ABC News), Eugene
  Meyer (Washington Post), Henry Grunwald (editor-in-chief Time), Katherine
  Graham (publisher of The Washington Post),

Joseph

  Lelyyeld (Executive editor, The New York Times), and Max Frankel (New York
  Times).

Can you name the
  most beneficent philanthropist in the history of the world? The name is
  George Soros, a Jew, who has so far donated a colossal $4 billion most of
  which has gone as aid to scientists and universities around the world. Second
  to George Soros is Walter Annenberg, another Jew, who has built a hundred
  libraries by donating an estimated $2 billion.

At the Olympics,
  Mark Spitz set a record of sorts by wining seven gold medals. Lenny
  Krayzelburg is a three-time Olympic gold medalist. Spitz, Krayzelburg and
  Boris Becker are all Jewish.

Did you know
  that Harrison Ford, George Burns, Tony Curtis, Charles Bronson, Sandra
  Bullock, Billy Crystal, Woody Allen, Paul Newman, Peter Sellers, Dustin
  Hoffman, Michael Douglas, Ben Kingsley, Kirk Douglas, Goldie Hawn, Cary
  Grant, William Shatner, Jerry Lewis and Peter Falk are all Jewish? As a
  matter of fact,

Hollywood

) and Ivan
  Reitman (Ghostbusters) are all Jewish.

To be certain,

Washington

  knows that if PM Ehud Olmert were to discover that the earth is flat, AIPAC
  will make the 109th Congress pass a resolution congratulating Olmert on his
  discovery.

William James
  Sidis, with an IQ of 250-300, is the brightest human who ever existed. Guess
  what faith did he belong to?

Question:
 

So,
  why are Jews so powerful?

Answer:
  Education.

Why are Muslims so powerless?

There
  are an estimated 1,476,233,470 Muslims on the face of the planet: one billion
  in

Asia

.
  Every fifth human being is a Muslim; for every single Hindu there are two
  Muslims, for every Buddhist there are two Muslims and for every Jew there are
  one hundred Muslims. Ever wondered why Muslims are so powerless?

Here
  is why: There are 57 member-countries of the Organisation of Islamic
  Conference (OIC), and all of them put together have around 500 universities;
  one university for every three million Muslims. The

United States

compiled an
  ‘Academic Ranking of World Universities’, and intriguingly, not one
  university from Muslim-majority states was in the top-500.

As
  per data collected by the UNDP, literacy in the Christian world stands at
  nearly 90 per cent and 15 Christian-majority states have a literacy rate of
  100 per cent. A Muslim-majority state, as a sharp contrast, has an average
  literacy rate of around 40 per cent and there is no Muslim-majority state
  with a literacy rate of 100 per cent. Some 98 per cent of the ‘literates’ in
  the Christian world had completed primary school, while less than 50 per cent
  of the ‘literates’ in the Muslim world did the same. Around 40 per cent of
  the ‘literates’ in the Christian world attended university while no more than
  two per cent of the ‘literates’ in the Muslim world did the same.

Muslim-majority
  countries have 230 scientists per one million Muslims. The

US

  has 5,000 per million. In the entire Arab world, the total number of
  full-time researchers is 35,000 and there are only 50 technicians per one
  million Arabs (in the Christian world there are up to 1,000 technicians per
  one million). Furthermore, the Muslim world spends 0.2 per cent of its GDP on
  research and development, while the Christian world spends around five per
  cent of its GDP.

Conclusion: The Muslim world lacks the capacity to produce knowledge.

Daily
  newspapers per 1,000 people and number of book titles per million are two
  indicators of whether knowledge is being diffused in a society. In

Pakistan

is 20.

Conclusion:
  The Muslim world is failing to diffuse knowledge.

Exports
  of high technology products as a percentage of total exports are an important
  indicator of knowledge application.

Pakistan

  is at 58 per cent. Conclusion: The Muslim world is failing to apply
  knowledge.

Why
  are Muslims powerless? Because we aren’t producing knowledge. Why are Muslims
  powerless? Because we aren’t diffusing knowledge. Why are Muslims powerless?
  Because we aren’t applying knowledge. And, the future belongs to
  knowledge-based societies.

Interestingly,
  the combined annual GDP of 57 OIC-countries is under $2 trillion. America,
  just by herself, produces goods and services worth $12 trillion;

China

$2.4 trillion (purchasing
  power parity basis).

Oil
  rich Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait and Qatar collectively produce goods and
  services (mostly oil) worth $500 billion; Spain alone produces goods and
  services worth over $1 trillion, Catholic Poland $489 billion and Buddhist
  Thailand $545 billion (Muslim GDP as a percentage of world GDP is fast declining).

So,
  why are Muslims so powerless? 

Answer:
  Lack of education.
