In my article Muslim Inventions - Nobel Prizes I noted that, not counting Peace Prize winners, there were 184 Nobel Laureates of Jewish descent compared with 2 Nobel Laureates of Arab descent.

One may wonder why Jews, who number less than 20 million, have garnered 90 times more Nobel Prizes than Arabs, who fill the Earth with more than 420 million souls. My guess is that too many Arabs are Muslims and Muslims generally have low IQ. Do not misunderstand, I am not saying that Muslims are mentally inferior genetically, after all, Muslim is not a race, rather it is being brought up Muslim that makes people stupid.

But perhaps it's the water in Arab countries that inhibits the population from becoming Nobel geniuses?

Well, that would not explain why Serge Haroche, a Jew, born in Morocco, won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2012 but not a single Arab from Morocco.

As well, that would not explain why Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, a Jew, born in Algeria, won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1997 but not a single Arab from Algeria.

As well, that would not explain the following Nobel Laureates of Jewish descent born in the British Mandate of Palestine (now Israel):

• The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2004 - Aaron Ciechanover


• The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2009 - Ada E. Yonath


• The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2011 - Dan Shechtman


• The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2013 - Arieh Warshel


• The Prize in Economic Sciences 2002 - Daniel Kahneman

But not a single Arab born in the British Mandate of Palestine.

In all of Arab North Africa and throughout the Arab Middle East, more Jews and non-Arabs have won Nobel Prizes than Arabs.

Perhaps if Arab countries hadn't expelled almost all of their Jews from their countries there would today be at least one Nobel Science Prize winner in Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Sudan, Tunisia, Somalia,United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Mauritania, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Djibouti, Comoros. But there isn't.
