Comparison of Arab and Jewish Nobel Prize Winners 

Arab/Islamic Nobel Prize Winners 
From a pool of 1.4 BILLION Muslims which are 20% of the world's population (2 out of every 10 people)
Muslims have won 7 Noble Prizes
(8 if you include Husain barak Obama)
Literature
1988 - Najib Mahfooz
Peace
1978 - Anwar El-Sadat
1994 - Yasser Arafat *
2003 - Shirin Ebadi
Chemistry
1999 - Ahmed Zewail
Physics
Abdus Salam 
  * NOTE: Norwegian, Kaare Kristiansen, was a member of the Nobel Committee. He resigned in 1994 to protest the awarding of a Nobel "Peace Prize" to Yasser Arafat, whom he correctly labeled a "terrorist." 


Jewish Nobel Prize Winners 
From a pool of 12 million Jews which are 0.2% of the World's Population (2 out of every 1,000 people), there are 165 Jews listed since 1905 as Noble Prize Winners!!!

Good to remember that Jews make up 0.2 percent of the world population, but 54 percent of the world chess champions, 27 percent of the Nobel physics laureates and 31 percent of the medicine laureates.
Read more in "Tel Aviv Cluster" by David Brooks and Gail Collins talk between columns on the NYT.
Jews make up 2 percent of the U.S. population, but 21 percent of the Ivy League student bodies, 26 percent of the Kennedy Center honorees, 37 percent of the Academy Award-winning directors, 38 percent of those on a recent Business Week list of leading philanthropists, 51 percent of the Pulitzer Prize winners for nonfiction.

Please read the book, “The Golden Age of Jewish Achievement”  by Steven L. Pease.  It lists some of the explanations people have given for this record of achievement. The Jewish faith encourages a belief in progress and personal accountability. It is learning-based, not rite-based.

Only four laureates have been forced by authorities to decline the Nobel Prize. Three of them were (non-Jewish) Germans, who were prohibited from accepting the prize by Adolf Hitler in 1938 and in 1939. The fourth was Boris Pasternak, a Russian Jew. Pasternak was named the winner of the prize for Literature in 1958. He initially accepted the award, but—after intense pressure from Soviet authorities—subsequently declined it.
