Hey Google....how many muslims have ever won a nobel prize in science? Five.

Abdus Salam (1979 - Physics): A Pakistani theoretical physicist (who shared the prize for developing the electroweak theory unifying electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces)

Ahmed Zewail (1999 - Chemistry): An Egyptian-American chemist awarded the prize for his pioneering studies of chemical reactions in femtoseconds (femtochemistry).

Aziz Sancar (2015 - Chemistry): A Turkish-American biochemist who won the prize for his mechanistic studies mapping how cells repair damaged DNA (nucleotide excision repair).

Moungi Bawendi (2023 - Chemistry): An American chemist of Tunisian descent who was honored for the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots.

Omar M. Yaghi (2025 - Chemistry): A Jordanian-American chemist with Palestinian roots who received the prize for developing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).

How many nobel prize winners in science have there ever been? 688.

So....ONE QUARTER of the earth's population has produced 0.73% of all nobel prize winners in science and FOUR OF THE FIVE of them had to come to America first before winning it.

Gosh, I just can't figure why RFK would say muslims haven't done much in science. LOL!
