Catholic bloggers Relapsed Catholic and the Curt Jester assure us that no, it’s not that international Zionist conspiracy yet again.

Quite possibly the world's stupidest Muslim guy actually asks, with a straight face, one presumes:

"Why has the [Nobel] Prize been awarded to 167 Jews and only 4 Arabs?"

Curt Jester explains carefully to him:

Because you don't get the Nobel for perfecting suicide bomber belts and making explosive shoes. This maybe also explains why the issuance of patents to those in Arab countries has slowed to a crawl. I read this tidbit before.

According to the 2003 Arab Human Development Report, between 1980 and 1999 the nine leading Arab economies registered 370 patents (in the US) for new inventions. Patents are a good measure of a society's education quality, entrepreneurship, rule of law and innovation. During that same 20-year period, South Korea registered 16,328 patents for inventions. You don't run into a lot of South Koreans who want to be martyrs.

Samir 'Ubeid, after complaining that so few Arabs have won the Nobel prize (well, think of all they might achieve if they redirected the energy they use for hating Israel into more positive channels), says that it's no good any way: "This prize stems from the core of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion."

Relapsed Catholic comments:

"The Nobel Prize is evil and we want one anyway! Even though we don't do anything to deserve it! We invented chess, remember?!"

Doesn't this remind you of those Muslim leaders who complain that Holocaust Remembrance Day makes them feel "left out." Left out of the gas chamber??

That reminds me – if Team Evil Arab Hackerz didn’t waste time attacking pro-Jewish websites and did something useful instead, just think of all the Nobel Prizes they might win.
