How would you explain this data?

There are 15,000,000 Jewish people in the world and over 168 have won the Nobel prize.

There are 1,300,000,000 Islamic Adherents in the world and 3 have won the Nobel prize.

Now, I do not deny there are majestic Muslim people, but the breath of religion is found in personal individuality, not in collective control or cohesive group management.

Jewish people are proportionally represented, because they teach Torah in their temples and that provides them with a refreshing breath of independent spirituality.

Israel usually invests more money in both science and education, compared to most of the Islamic countries... so it has nothing to do with their religion, it's mostly related to state politics.

Thank you for MHO

A very high emphasis on education, knowledge and sciences in Jewish society.

I would explain it that those who judge whether someone is worth handing out the nobel prizes to, are mostly jews themselves. ㅤ

This is a hot take and I’m definitely shorting a complex issue with my basic knowledge but historically muslim countries have limited knowledge for controlling purposes. challenging or questioning everything could be seen as blasphemy even in recent times.

That type of culture has made it very difficult for scholars in Muslim countries to stand out without risking their lives. I recall a teacher talking about how things were changing and education was growing in the 70-80’s but then the return of strict sharia laws set back Muslim culture several decades I could only imagine this would effect all the categories of a nobel peace prize.
That’s not to say they haven’t made great contributions to science it’s just that difficult to get noticed for being at the forefront in a way that would get a Nobel prize.

The Nobel Prize was created by Europeans primarily for Europeans. Until recently, there aren't many Muslims in Europe but there are many Jews.

Religion has nothing to do with it.

The Nobel Prize is a joke. They gave it to Obama just for being black and refused to give it to President Trump because he is President Trump.
