Why are Jews so powerful?
There are only 14 million Jews in the world; seven million in the Americas, five
million in Asia, two million in Europe &
100,000 in Africa. 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 & TIME magazine's 'Person of the Century', was a Jew.
Sigmund Freud, 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. Albert Sabin developed the improved live polio vaccine. Gertrude Elion gave us a leukemia fighting drug. Baruch Blumberg developed the vaccination for Hepatitis B.
Paul Ehrlich discovered a treatment for syphilis. 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. Aaron Beck founded Cognitive Therapy. Gregory Pincus developed the first oral contraceptive pill. George Wald won a Nobel for our understanding of the
human eye. Stanley Cohen won a Nobel in embryology. 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; 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 (US Senator), Madeleine Albright (American secretary of state), Casper Weinberger (American secretary of defense), 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 (US
Senator), 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
Lelyveld (Executive editor, The New York Times), and Max Frankel (New York
Times).
The most beneficent
philanthropist in the history of the world 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 winning 7 gold medals; Lenny Krayzelburg is a three-time Olympic gold medalist.
Spitz, Krayzelburg & Boris
Becker (Tennis) 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 itself was founded by a Jew. Among
directors and producers, Steven Spielberg, Mel
Brooks, Oliver Stone, Aaron Spelling ( Beverly Hills 90210), Neil Simon (The Odd Couple), Andrew
Vaina (Rambo 1/2/3), Michael Man (Starsky
andHutch), Milos Forman (One flew over the
Cuckoo's Nest), Douglas Fairbanks (The Thief of
Baghdad ) and Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters) are all
Jewish.
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, 400 million in Africa,
44 million in Europe and six million in the Americas. Every fifth human being is a
Muslim; for every single Hindu there are two Muslims, for every Buddhist there are
two Muslims & 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 Organization of Islamic
Conference (OIC), and all of them put together have around 500 universities; i.e. one university for every
three million Muslims. The United States has 5,758 universities & India has 8,407.
In 2004, Shanghai Jiao Tong University 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 4,000 scientists per million & Japan has 5,000 per million.
In the entire Arab world, the
total number of full-time researchers is 35,000 & 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, there are 23 daily newspapers per 1,000
Pakistanis while the same ratio in Singapore is
360. In the UK, the number of book titles per million stands at
2,000 while the same in Egypt 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’s export of high
technology products as a percentage of total exports stands at one per cent. The same for Saudi Arabia is 0.3 per cent; Kuwait, Morocco, and Algeria are
all at 0.3 per cent, while Singapore is at 58 per
cent.
Conclusion: The Muslim world is failing to apply knowledge.
Why are Muslims powerless?
.....Because we aren't producing knowledge,
.....Because we aren't diffusing knowledge.,
.....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 $8 trillion, Japan $3.8 trillion and Germany $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 worlds GDP is fast
declining).
So, why are Muslims so powerless?
Answer: Lack of education & very narrow mindedness.
All we do is shouting to Allah the whole day!!! And blame everyone else for our multiple failures!!!!!
