    The Jews are NOT promoting brain washing children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non Muslims!

    The Jews don’t hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics, or blow themselves up in German restaurants. There is NOT one single Jew that has destroyed a church. There is NOT a single Jew that protests by killing people.

    The Jews don’t traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels.

    Perhaps the world’s Muslims should consider investing more in standard education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems.

    Muslims must ask ‘what can they do for humankind’ before they demand that humankind respects them!!

    Regardless of your feelings about the crisis between Israel and the Palestinians and Arab neighbors, the following two sentences really say it all:

    Here we go again. This list is missing a lot of Muslim Nobel Prize winners. Here are just a few:

    Abdus Salam (Physics, 1979)

    Shirin Ebadi (Peace, 2003) (She is an Iranian currently in exile for her opposition to the despotic regime there.)

    Muhammad ElBaradei (Peace, 2005)

    Muhammad Yunus (Peace, 2006) (He is actually an economist.)

    Orhan Pamuk (Literature, 2006)

    Also, Ahmed Zewail (not Zewai) won the prize for Chemistry, not Peace, in 1999.

    This thread should be closed and lies like this should be banned from the site. It discredits us.

    Charlie, the numbers are still a staggering contrast even with the 5 you added. And it would take many more to make it even close considering the vast proportional difference in total population numbers.

    So let’s not be disingenuous.

    I’m not enamored of these kinds of lists because yeah, it shows, how over the last century we Jews were into bettering the world, but there’s a lot more to our history, and a lot more to who we are now. Not to mention the fact that sometimes unworthy people can win these prizes too.

    But anyway, to paraphrase a joke, if you don’t know the difference I’m not sending you grocery shopping.

    The ikar point is…

    It would NOT matter if they won hundreds of Nobel prizes and we won zero.

    We are not in a competition for Nobel prizes with yishmaelim.

    The Torah calls yishmaelim “pereh-adam” for good reason.

    As Rav Meir Kahane zatzvk”l said…

    “One of the great problems with Americans is that – being a decent people – they assume that everyone else is equally decent.”

    Sadly, America, the world, and even MANY Jews, still don’t get it.

    I can’t believe that people are justifying lies.

    How about a list of observant orthodox Jewish Nobel Prize winners? There may be more religious Muslims to have won Nobel Prizes than religious Jews.

    Whats the purpose of this thread?

    We should be proud of our spiritual achievements. Forget the nobel peace prizes. How about the fact that we taught the concept of morality and monotheism to the world? We gave the world a conscience.

    Also you forgot to mention a number of Jews who won the “Fields” prize in mathematics:

    The Fields Medals are commonly regarded as mathematics’ closest analog to the Nobel Prize (which does not exist in mathematics), and are awarded every four years by the International Mathematical Union to one or more outstanding researchers. “Fields Medals” are more properly known by their official name, “International medals for outstanding discoveries in mathematics.”

    You would need 85 muslims to win for every one win from an orthodox jew. And Im pretty sure there is at least one orthodox jew on that list.

    However I agree that such comparisons are childish.

    The terribly inaccurate list does not include the most famous of all Orthodox Jews to have recently won a Nobel Prize: Dr. Robert Aumann, who shared the Economics prize in 2005. They actually delayed the start of the ceremony until the end of Shabat for him. Not only is he frum; he is a graduate of the Rabbi Jacob Joseph Yeshiva!

    Rosalyn Sussman Yalow was a physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1977. (The inaccurate list misspelled her name.) She was a long time member of an Orthodox synagogue in the Bronx that I often attend. The social hall there is named for her. Her father in law was an Orthodox rabbi.

    Bottom line is, whether we are talking about Bukharians or Chinese or arabs, vs. Jews is A GOY IS A GOY. You will never see voluntary deeds done by them especially Arabs such as building hospitals, institutions to help people, etc. as the Yidden do. Just look at Bikkur Cholim alone. Would you ever see such an operation in Jordan or Saudi Arabia? You only see them destroying as the malach who told Hagar that Yishmael will be a wild a** of a man, his hand against everyone etc…

    Want to hear something a bit profound?

    In my opinion, the main difference between Jews (frum Jews) and Muslims (frum Moslims) is that at its essence, Islam glorifies death and the greatest achievement a Muslim can attain is Martyrdom. On the other hand Yiddishkiet is the polar opposite, yes its a huge mitzvah to die al kiddush Hashem but the greatest achievement for a Yid is to live al kiddush Hashem, Vchai Bahem (vlo Sheyamus Bahem) Uvacharta Bachayim. We glorify life. Chayei Oilum Nota Besoicheinu. Judaism is all about life!

    In what sense are we the same that there has to be a discussion about how we are different. What’s the difference between a toothpick and a kangaroo?

    HaLeivi, I, actually, admire many democrats and have been influenced by many of them. I don’t consider the fact that a person can express his opinion and vote that way, a sin. However, I do consider someone that hates others’ opinions for unfound reasons, a sinner; liberals tend to do just that. Someone compiled a nice and creative list that highlights the differences between the ‘Am Hanivchar’ and the ‘Pere Adam’. Obviously, some of us didn’t like that idea. But to demand that he be shut up? That is liberalism!

    An email forward like this (because that’s what the article smells like) only promotes hate. I’m not advocating loving Muslims but putting all Muslims in one category like that implies that all Muslims have the same beliefs. Just like all Umos Haolam, there are good Arabs and there are unfortunately terrorists. Yes, majority of terrorists are Muslims but not the majority of Muslims are terrorists. And the main difference between Jews and Muslims is that Islam is a religion and the Judaism is what ties us together as a nation.

    BTW, it was Golda Meir who quoted “If all Arabs…”

    WIY: Despite what popular Western conceptions of Islam may suggest, the greatest achievement a Muslim can achieve is not to die a martyr. In Islam, martyrdom is desirable only under specific conditions (i.e., when Muslim communities are under threat of attack by non-Muslims, or when the Umma – the Muslim equivalent to the Promised Land is occupied and governed by non-Muslims). Even under these conditions, there are many rules of Islamic law that govern when martyrdom is appropriate.

    I dont know if the mods will let this post through (they don’t seem to have posted my last comment mentioning some similarities between our own practices and those of Muslims), but I hope they do.

    I am writing this based on my own knowledge of Islamic law, which I have studied quite a bit (I think its best to fully understand other peoples, especially those that we have difficulties with, and especially those whose beliefs and practices are nuanced, complex, very old, and easily distorted and simplified by propaganda). My point here is not to justify or defend the actions of many Muslims. Rather, I hope to point out that if we want to deal with a problem, its best not to demonize it, simplify it, and then rest our proposed solutions on false understandings of what we face. It is far better to try to understand the nuanced reality of Islamic belief and practice, so that we can honestly evaluate where we stand and how we can deal with these issues.

    Ok, here come the attacks (except perhaps from charliehall)

    this can only hold true for Israel, or Iraq or Afghanistan, this wouldn’t be able to support terrorism in other countries i.e. Times square (even if you want to include America it’s only officers stationed in Iraq or Afghanistan)

    I dont know…September 11 had Muslims all over the world (especially local communities in NYC) celebrating they were quite happy with the death and destruction…and martyrdom and whatever else.

    Yes you are right theres more to their religion. Cutting off hands for stealing. Treating women worse than excrement. Beating their wives mercilessly for the most insignificant “crimes”…Ill find you some more of their holy mitzvos shortly…bli neder.

    RSRH:

    I have not studied Islam. I don’t know the five pillars of Islam, and I don’t know the significance of the Kabbaa.

    Nonetheless, I do know what the Moslems are doing, because I do study the world. It is clear that Jihad is the driving force in Islam today, and that the majority of Moslems support it. It is clear that martyrdom is seen as the ultimate sacrifice to Allah in this Jihad.

    So, I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. I don’t care if the Moslems have Islam wrong. I have nothing against Islam, only against Moslems; is that better?

    charlie: you should ask the mods to add a subtitle to your name of “muslim apologist”. actually it could be made more generic as “gentile apologist”.

    Dying al kiddish Hashem IS the highest thing to which a Jew can aspire. But that dying comes from being murdered by a gentile; NOT by murdering a gentile via suicide.

    And remember that we honor those who die al kiddush HaShem. I have even heard shiurim by rabbonim saying that that is the highest thing to which a Jew can aspire.

    you should be ashamed of yourself charlie!!! comparing jews that die Al Kiddush Hashem to arabs that kill in the name of G-d one is a proactive role one is an active role

    “I think RSRH is correct. And remember that we honor those who die al kiddush HaShem. I have even heard shiurim by rabbonim saying that that is the highest thing to which a Jew can aspire.”

    You are likely referring to rabbi Akiva and the Asara Heirugei Malchus where Rabbi Akiva was smiling while reciting Shema as the Romans brutally combed his flesh off his body, so his students asked him how could he smile? So he told his students “I waited my whole life to be Mekayem To love Hashem with all my heart and with all my soul (nafshecha) now that I get that opportunity I shouldnt smile?”

    But in essence we dont want to die. We dont ask Hashem please send non Jews to kill us so we can die Al Kiddush Hashem. The greatest accomplishment a Jew can achieve is living like a Jew keeping the Torah and growing in Torah and Mitzvah observance. Living with mesiras nefesh and not allowing himself to get lost in the Tayvos and materialism of America. We dont “want” to die. We want to live and do Mitzvos!!!
