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 - 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 of 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 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 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 180 Nobel Prizes while only 3 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, the optical fibre cable; Charles Adler - traffic lights; Benno Strauss - stainless steel; Isador Kisee - sound movies; Emile Berliner - the telephone microphone and Charles Ginsburg - the videotape recorder.

Famous financiers in the business world who belong to the 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 (Federal Chairman of Banking under Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Bush, Jr.), Joseph Lieberman, Senator, Madeleine Albright (former Secretary of State), 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 Prime Minister), Jorge Sampaio (President of Portugal), Herb Gray (Canadian Deputy Prime Minister), Pierre Mendes (French Prime Minister), Michael Howard (British Home Secretary), Bruno Kreisky (Chancellor of Austria) and Robert Rubin (former Secretary of the Treasury).

In the media, famous Jews include Wolf Blitzer (CNN), Barbara Walters (ABC News), Eugene Meyer (Washington Post), Henry Grunwald (Editor-in-Chief of Time Magazine), 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 (Tennis) are all Jewish.

Did you know that Harrison Ford, George Burns, Tony Curtis, Charles Bronson, Sandra Bullock, Barbra Streisand, Billy Crystal, Woody Allen, Paul Newman, Peter Sellers, Dustin Hoffman, Michael Douglas, Ben Kingsley, Kirk Douglas, 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's 1, 2 and 3), Michael Mann (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?

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 Organization 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 (1 for every 57,000 Americans) 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 U.S. 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, 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.

Why are Muslims powerless?
Because we aren't diffusing knowledge.

Why are Muslims powerless?
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!

All we do is shouting to Allah the whole day and blame everyone else for our multiple failures.

Salam u alaikum,



Thawban, radi Allahu `anhu (may Allah be pleased with him), one of the companions of the Prophet (saws) and a freed slave, narrated a hadith (prophetic saying) of the beloved Prophet (saws). He related that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said, “The nations are about to call each other and set upon you, just as diners set upon food.”

It was asked, “Will it be because of our small number that day?”

The Prophet (saws) answered, “Rather, on that day you will be many, but you will be like foam, like the foam on the ocean. And Allah will remove the fear of you from the hearts of your enemies and will throw wahn (weakness) into your hearts.”

Someone then asked, “O Messenger of Allah! What is Wahn?”

He replied, “Love of the world and the hatred for death” (Abu Dawood 4297).

I totally agree Muslims have generally become a lazy lot, more inclined towards taking short cuts, and its indeed due to lack of education. However, the sentence in bold above is certainly not why Muslims are powerless. The problem with that sentence is that there are not even enough Muslims doing (shouting/calling (wadu) Allah (swt) the whole day) that sincerely. I think just calling Allah (swt) the whole day can work wonders as well, as Allah (swt) will guide these people towards working hard, and inventing things that would benefit humanity. Another point is to raise intellectuals, we need educated mothers (teachers) both in terms of deen and duniya, who can clearly explain as well as challenge and nuture an inquisitive mind.

[yasmin]

Jesus of Nazareth was not a Jew ASTAGHFIRULLAH!! He was and is a Muslim! Blaming Just The Lack of Education is not Correct is just part of the problem.

Relax bro, being a jew doesn't mean following judaism. it could refer to the ethnicity, you know, like the descendants of Nabi Yaaqub A.S. are all called Bani Israeel or Jews. There are good and evil ones amongst them...

Like being an Indian NOT EQUALS to being a cow-worshipper...same logic.

I hate to bust your bubble but Jesus was a Jew.

He was an Israelite and born in Judea.

He was a Rabbi and taught the Torah.

To say otherwise is ridiculous,

Actually you should Relax "BRO" Read and get educated in Quran and hadeeth before you say its ok to call any prophets a "jew" Bani israel is not same as Jew!!

This is the exact answer and nothing else...

[muBXvWIC]

SIMPLE
Muslims dd their duty properly, they were victorious - India was ruled by Muslims for 1000 years.
Now see the condition of Muslim in India

No beard, No Salah, No Hijab, Most of the masjid Fajr salah it doesnt exceed on Saff

Why you expect Muslims to be powerful when our own muslim brothers and sisters are travelling in the path of Kufr?

[CuittisIL]

To say otherwise is ridiculous,

Yes he alayhissalaam was an Israelite but he was not a Rabbi, rather was a Prophet and Messenger and he did not teach the Torah (which was abrogated) but taught the Injeel instead

thanx for sharing it, first time i heard this hadith mubarak 2 years back

[suingincentix]

Yes he alayhissalaam was an Israelite but he was not a Rabbi, rather was a Prophet and Messenger and he did not teach the Torah (which was abrogated) but taught the Injeel instead

The reason the Jews listened to Jesus; and the religious leaders allowed him to teach in the Temple; was because he was a Rabbi and taught from the Torah.

Yes, he was a Prophet and a Messenger; but his teachings that were later compiled to become the Bible were straight out of the Torah and the Tanakh.

[Sydrothcoathy]

Have you ever read the Holy Qur'an's translation?

Surely, those who believed in Allah, and those who are Jews, and Christians, and Sabians, -whosoever believes in Allah and in the Last Day, and does good deeds – all such people will have their reward with their Lord, and there will be no reason for them to fear, nor shall they grieve.

Here shout meaning is something else. No matter if we do call Allah 24/7 we can't even fulfill the fardh upon us

Anyway, I had asked my Sheikh the same thing about Jews and he said that they are the children of Prophet (I forgot his [P.B.U.H.] name). And he (PBUH) asked Allah that never put my generation in hunger, that is the reason of it.
You may see, right now China is becoming the World Super Power. But that country has isolated everything, even their internet too. They centralized it. On the other hand Jew use to have contact with every country and they know their cultures very well. This helps them in the mentality of the people too

[Sydrothcoathy]

and he did not teach the Torah (which was abrogated) but taught the Injeel instead

Bro I am NOT DEBATING just discussing from an academic point, was the Tawrah abrogated?

(I have come to you) confirming that (book) which is (sent down) prior to me, that is, the Torah, and to make permissible for you some of what was
prohibited to you. I have come to you with a sign from your Lord. So, fear Allah and obey me.

(Surah Aali Imran Ayat 50)

Kindly put forth your evidence that the Tawrah was abrogated in its entirety? Some rulings were, but the entire tawrah? That part I cannot seem to find any proof...

Jazakallah

Man clam down here
We are not fighting, ok ?

Anyway, for here I would go to the start. And what's that Prophet Adam (Peace be upon him) even gave the teaching of Islam. So, how could you say that Jesus/Isa (peace be upon him) was a Jew?

Post with some proofs and logics.

Good Luck!

That is even true. When we were on right path we were the super power of that time

But it's the natural law that every urooj has a zawaal too

There was Roman Empire, Alexander the Great, Islamic Empire, Empire of China (lot many), Mugal as u mentioned, British, Soviet and now US too. And the upcoming China and India will face downfall too

The only power that could exist the Power of Allah! Allahu Akbar

From Adam to Abraham there was no such thing as Israelites or Jews.

The first Jew was Isaac; the father of the Jews.

Any Prophet from Israel after Isaac was a Jew.

[seicslybearee]

Jew in the sense of his lineage (i.e. Israelite) and tribe, but in Deen (Religion) he was a Muslim.
