PAKISTAN: Why are Jews so powerful--why are Muslims so powerless?
Dr Farrukh Saleem
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, and 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.
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 (a sexually transmitted
disease).
Elie Metchnikoff won a Nobel &! nbsp; 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 Pinks 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;
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).
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 winning seven gold medals.
Lenny Krayzelburg is a three-time Olympic gold medalist.
Spitz, Krayzelburg and 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 and Hutch),
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 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.
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 and Japan
has5, 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
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 are not diffusing knowledge
.....Because we are not applying knowledge
And, the future
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. e belongs to knowledge-based societies.
