Subject: Why are Jews so powerful?

Hi,

Some facts and numbers may be somewhat off a little
(eg. population of Israel is already 7 million) ... just follow the
sentiments expressed by this presumably Muslim columnist.

Why the Jews are so powerful ? - by F Saleem.

Do you know why the Jews are so powerful in the world
? Read below to understand.

By: Dr Farrukh Saleem The writer is an
Islamabad-based freelance columnist

There are only 14 million Jews in the world; seven
million in the Americas, five million in Asia, two million in Europe and
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 and TIME magazine's 'Person of the Century', was a Jew.
Sigmund Freud
- id, ego, superego -- 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. Alert Sabin developed the
improved live polio vaccine. Gertrude Elion gave us a leukaemia fighting
drug. Baruch Blumberg developed the vaccination for Hepatitis B. Paul
Ehrlich discovered a treatment for syphilis (a sexually transmitted
disease). 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 (disorders of the endocrine system;
diabetes, hyperthyroidism). Aaron Beck founded Cognitive Therapy
(psychotherapy to treat mental disorders, depression and phobias).Gregory
Pincus developed the first oral contraceptive pill. George Wald won a
Nobel for furthering our understanding of the human eye. Stanley Cohen
won a Nobel in embryology (study of embryos and their development).
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 and 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,
Madeleine Albright (American secretary of state), Casper Weinberger
(American secretary of defence), 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, 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 Lelyyeld (Executive editor, The New York Times), and Max
Frankel (New York Times).

Can you name the most beneficent philanthropist in the
history of the world?

The name 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
wining seven gold medals. Lenny Krayzelburg is a three-time Olympic gold
medalist. Spitz, Krayzelburg and Boris Becker 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 and
Hutch), Milos Forman (One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest), Douglas Fairbanks
(The thief of Baghdad) and Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters) are all Jewish.

To be certain, Washington is the capital that matters
and in Washington the lobby that matters is The American Israel Public
Affairs Committee, or AIPAC. Washington knows that if PM Ehud Olmert were
to discover that the earth is flat, AIPAC will make the 109th Congress
pass a resolution congratulating Olmert on his discovery.

William James Sidis, with an IQ of 250-300, is the
brightest human who ever existed. Guess what faith did he belong to?

Question: 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 and 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
Organisation of Islamic Conference(OIC), and all of them put together
have around 500 universities; one university for every three million
Muslims. The United States has 5,758 universities and India has 8,407.

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 and Japan has
5,000 per million. In the entire Arab world, the total number of
full-time researchers is 35,000 and 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 exports 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.
