I was 11 years old (November 18, 1956) when Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev threatened the US with "We will bury you!" I remember my father laughing at the absurdity by saying, "I've lived in Russia - they don't have enough shovels."

In response to my article Muslim Inventions - Nobel Prizes, I often come across comments that try to explain the paucity of Muslim Nobel Laureates compared to Jews. If you don't know, it's 1 Muslim to 57 Jews, despite the fact that Muslims outnumber Jews almost 80 to 1.

When the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Barack Obama, he became the third African American to win the Nobel Peace Prize, the fourth African American to win a Nobel Prize, the eighth black person to receive the Peace Prize, the twelfth black person to receive the Nobel Prize, and the fourth President to receive the Peace Prize [Theodore Roosevelt (1905), Woodrow Wilson (1919), Jimmy Carter, Jr. (2002)].

I was watching the History Channel's Modern Marvels when an interesting interstitial between the program and commercials announced that before 1933 Germany led the world in Nobel Prizes.

Just like Joseph and his coat of many colors (ignoring for the moment that it's a mistranslation from the Hebrew), Leonid Hurwicz is listed in various Nobel Prize Categories.

Since 1901 there were 106 years in which Nobel Prizes were awarded. At least one Jew has won in 73 of those years. That is, Jews have won in over 68% of all award years.

The Soviet Union has certainly encouraged scientific learning during the last century yet has garnered only 16 Nobel Science Prizes. I have omitted Nobel Peace Prize winners from the following lists since they have contributed practically nothing of value to modern civilization.

Two years ago I noted that hundreds of blogs and websites mistakenly offer up the statistic that there are 10 or 11 Muslim Nobel Prize Laureates. Excluding the Nobel Peace Prize which does not reward intellectual achievement (after all, Yasser Arafat got one) I wrote that there were only three Muslims (out of 1.5 billion) who have won Nobel Prizes. Two in Science (Abdus Salam, and Ahmed Zewail) and one in Literature (Naguib Mahfouz).

Therefore there should be prizes for innovative techniques for Sex with Goats, How to Molest female infants, the theory and practise of honor killing of wives and daughters and the efficient slaughtering of innocent infidels and even fellow Muslims.

Many non-Jews when they hear of the Day of Atonement think it is a day set aside to atone for sins against their fellow man; it is not. It is a day to atone for sins against God. To atone for sins against another person, you have to right any wrongs that you committed against that person before Yom Kippur.

If you google "Muslim/Islamic/Arab Nobel Prize Winners" you will invariably get quite a number of websites that erroneously list ten or eleven names. They are far too generous.
