One of the reasons that many religious Jews are so knowledgeable on a myriad of topics is due to the Rabbinic suggestion that while on the toilet, one should read a book on any non-holy subject to keep the mind focused on something other than G-d.

It is no accident that there are only 4 Muslim Nobel Laureates (out of a world which is almost one-quarter Muslim) and that correspondingly the Muslim world is the most backward, disease-ridden, filthy, repressive, barbaric, and ignorant of all the nations on Earth.

As more Muslims come into Europe more Jews will leave. When the Jews leave, they will leave a scientific hole in Europe and the UK, since 30% of all their scientists and Nobel prize laureates are Jews. They will trade their brightest and most talented citizens for the most backward and primitive peoples on this planet.

An Ayurveda mantra inscribed in rocks at Zanskar, India.

While the country was gearing up for Akshay Trithiya, India's top space scientists were busy seeking the blessings of Lord Balaji at the Tirupati temple for a safe launch of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle. A miniature model of the rocket was laid in the sanctum sanctorum of the temple and prayed over by priests in the presence of 15 scientists. Scientists, who have not let go their own security blanket of gods, can hardly be expected to question the comforting but false illusions astrologers sell to ordinary people.

So dear readers, please do not compare what happens in your country to the US. If your country has socialized medicine, it is made possible because you do business with America. If your country gives your workers 30 hour work weeks, it is made possible because your companies trade with America.

While there may be some very few controversies regarding the selection of Nobel Science Prizes, 99% of them are awarded on merit. Please do not confuse the Scientific awards with the Nobel Peace Prize, which is not decided by Swedes, has no standards, and is almost entirely political.

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.

Leonid Leo Hurwicz - American economist and mathematician

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.

Russian Jewish Nobel Prize Winner - Metchinikoff for Medicine

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).
