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. [Lets 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 Frances 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 worlds] 14 million Jews won Nobel Prizes. During the same period, [the worlds] 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 dont 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 worlds 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. Lets 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?"

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."
