He called on the Muslims to stop blaming others for their failures and to start developing their capacity to gain and spread knowledge and to innovate.
In
an article he posted on his Facebook account titled "Facts Regarding
the Superiority of the Jewish Mind over the Arab Mind," Egyptian
researcher and intellectual Ahmed Saad Zayed wondered why the Jews, who
number only 14 million worldwide, "control the world," while the
Muslims, who number 1.5 billion, lag behind. Presenting a long list of
pioneering Jewish figures, such as Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud,
who are globally renowned for their accomplishments, and comparing the
number of Jewish Nobel Prize winners to the number of Arab ones,[1]
he argued that the gap is not the result of a conspiracy or of any
special favor enjoyed by the Jews, as many Arabs believe. Rather, it is
the result of the Jews' pursuit of excellence and the high value they
place on knowledge and education, compared to the Arabs. This is
evident, he said, from the small number and poor quality of universities
in the Arab world, compared to the universities in the West in general
and in Israel in particular. He called on the Muslims to stop blaming
others for their failures and to start developing their capacity to gain
and spread knowledge and to innovate.

The following are translated excerpts from the article:[2]
"The facts reflecting the superiority of
the Jewish mind over the Arab mind – are they due to a
Hindu-Buddhist-Christian-atheist-Jewish plot, or to a failure of the
Arabs and of their tall tales? Or perhaps the reason is the rationalism
and secularity of the Jews, most of whom – especially the well-educated
among them, such as Einstein and Freud – were not dervishes who believed
in superstitions like many of the Arabs?
"The question thus remains: Why do the
Jews control our world today? Let us examine the facts and figures. The
Jews of the world number 14 million… [whereas] Muslims number 1.5
billion… In other words, one-fifth of the world population is Muslims,
and there are 107 Muslims for every Jew. Despite this, 14 million Jews
are more powerful than a billion and a half Muslims. Why?
"Let's continue with the facts and
statistics. [Let’s look at] the most prominent names in modern history:
Albert Einstein – Jewish; Sigmund Freud – Jewish; Karl Marx – Jewish;
Paul Samuelson – Jewish; Milton Friedman – Jewish. The most important
medical inventors: inventor of the medical syringe [bifurcated
vaccination needle], Benjamin Rubin – Jewish; inventor of the polio
vaccine, Jonas Salk – Jewish;… inventor of the cure for syphilis, Paul
Ehrlich – Jewish; developer of the field of immunology, Ilya Ilyich –
Jewish; the most prominent researcher of the endocrine system, Andrew
Schally – Jewish; the most prominent researcher in the field of
cognitive treatment, Aaron Beck – Jewish; inventor of the birth control
pill, Gregory Pincus – Jewish; the most prominent researcher of the
human eye and retina, George Wald – Jewish; the most prominent
researcher of cancer treatments, Stanley Cohen – Jewish…
"Inventors whose innovations changed the
world: [micro]processor developer, Stanley Mazor – Jewish; inventor of
the nuclear reactor, Leo Szilard – Jewish; inventor of fiber optics,
Peter Schultz – Jewish; inventor of the traffic light, Charles Adler –
Jewish; inventor of stainless steel, Benno Strauss – Jewish; inventor of
the soundtrack, Theodore Case – Jewish; inventor of the microphone and
gramophone, Emil Berliner – Jewish; inventor of the videotape recorder,
Charles Ginsburg – Jewish.
"Manufacturers of international brands:
Polo by Ralph Lauren – Jewish; Levis jeans by Levi Strauss – Jewish;
Starbucks, owned by Howard Schultz – Jewish; Google co-founder Sergey
Brin – Jewish…; Oracle Corporation co-founder Larry Ellison – Jewish;
DKNY by Donna Karan – Jewish; Baskin-Robbins co-founder Irv Robbins –
Jewish; Dunkin' Donuts founder William Rosenberg – Jewish.
"Politicians and decision-makers: [former]
U.S. secretary of state Henry Kissinger – Jewish; [former] president of
Yale University Richard Levin – Jewish; [former] chair of the U.S.
Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan – Jewish; [former] U.S. secretary of
state Madeleine Albright – Jewish; American politician Joseph [Joe]
Lieberman – Jewish; [former] U.S. defense secretary Caspar Weinberger –
Jewish; [former] Soviet foreign minister Maxim Litvinov – Jewish;
[former] prime minister of New Zealand John Kay – Jewish; [former] chief
minister of Singapore David Marshall – Jewish;… [former] Australia
chief governor Sir Isaac Isaacs – Jewish; [former] British prime
minister Benjamin Disraeli – Jewish;… [former] president of Portugal
Jorge Sampaio – Jewish; [former] deputy prime minister of Canada Herbert
Gray – Jewish; [former] president of France’s Council of Ministers
Pierre Mendes – Jewish; prominent economic and financial speculator
George Soros – Jewish; American businessman and philanthropist Walter
Annenberg – Jewish.
"Influential media figures: Wolf Blitzer, CNN – Jewish; Barbara Walters, ABC News – Jewish; Eugene Meyer, The Washington Post – Jewish;… Catherine Graham, The Washington Post – Jewish; Joseph Lelyveld, The New York Times – Jewish; Max Frankel, The New York Times – Jewish.
"These names are just a sampling of
influential Jews and their accomplishments, which benefit humanity on a
day-to-day basis. A few more facts from the last 105 years: 180 of [the
world’s] 14 million Jews won Nobel Prizes. During the same period, [the
world’s] 1.3 billion Muslims produced three Nobel Prize winners. That
is, the Jews have one Nobel Prize for every 77,778 people… [whereas the
Muslims have] one Nobel Prize for every 500 million people. Had the
Jews’ ratio of winners been the same as the Muslims’, they would have
won 0.028 Nobel Prizes in the last 105 years, namely, less than one
third of a prize [sic]. And had the Muslims’ ratio of winners been the
same as the Jews’, they would have won 19,289 Nobel Prizes in the last
105 years… Is this cognitive superiority of the Jews incidental? Is [the
result of] fraud, conspiracy or favoritism? And why don’t Muslims
attain this level, these positions and this ability to bring about
change, despite their huge advantage [in numbers]?
"Here are some facts that may answer this
question. The entire Muslim world has only 500 universities, [whereas]
the U.S. alone has 5,758, and India has 8,407! Not one of these Muslim
universities is on the list of the world’s best 500 universities,
whereas six Israeli universities are on it…
"The conclusion is that the Islamic
countries lack the capacity to produce knowledge, they lack the capacity
to dispense imported knowledge, they lack the capacity to manufacture
high-tech gear and they lack the capacity to use it. So let us
acknowledge reality, without shame and without burying our heads in the
sand. The truth is clear and requires no proof or statistics. But there
are some among us who contradict themselves and deny what is as clear as
day. Yes, the Jews made all these accomplishments because they embraced
excellence and knowledge and instilled this [value] in their children.
The [people whose] names were listed above were not born that way. They
had good training. They encountered many difficulties before
accomplishing what they did. They were not born with a silver spoon in
their mouth. We all know the story of Einstein who failed math, and of
[Thomas] Edison who was expelled because he was [judged] ‘unfit for
school,’ and other stories. Let’s stop deluding ourselves that the Jews
control the world just because they are Jews or because the West loves
them. The Jews took over the world through studying, planning and
ingenious foresight… They set out their goals, first among them
[attaining] excellence in the field of knowledge: the ability to create
and discover knowledge, and then to dispense it to others while claiming
credit and respect for illuminating the path for the world. [That is
why] the Jews dominate the world of economy, medicine, technology and
media. As for the claim that the West loves the Jews, have you noticed
that the greatest Western comedians are Jewish? Even at humor they
excel.
"And where are we in all of this? It is
easy to read these lines and place the blame on the government, on
generations of Arab opportunists and leaders, or on the long years of
oppression, imperialism and occupation. But by doing so, you add yet
another drop to the ocean of Islamic passivity that brought us to this
state. Stop being bitter and passive and blaming others. Start with
yourself. Have you ever thought of spreading knowledge? Do you have
knowledge that nobody else has? Why not share it with everyone?"

It should be noted that this list was not complied by Zayed, but
appears in several sources, such as an article published over a decade
ago by Pakistani writer Dr. Farouq Salim, titled "Why Are the Jews So
Powerful?" (for an English translation of this article, see
ibnmahadi.wordpress.com, January 12, 2009). Since then it has been
quoted by several Arab writers. For example, it appeared in a July 27,
2009 article titled "How the Jews Took Over the World" on the
Hamas-affiliated website palinfo.com, and in an October 27, 2009 article
on the liberal website Elaph.com. Zayed himself states at the end of
his article that the source for his information is "the encyclopedia on
Jews, Judaism and Zionism by the late 'Abd Al-Wahhab
Al-Masiri" (published in 1999), quoted on "the page of [his] friend
Suleiman Muhammadi."
