Only two Muslims have won the Nobel prize in a scientific field - Dr. Abdus Salam, in 1979 for Physics and Dr. Ahmed Zewail, in 1992 for Chemistry. Dr Salam a native of Pakistan , is not considered to be a Muslim in his home country as he follows the Ahmadiyyas sect of Islam.

Wikipedia "Ahmadiya" -- very interesting. Do the same for Shia, Sunni, Sufi, Ismaili, Bori, Dervish, etc. all sub-sects of ISllam.

The Ahmadiyya and the Bahai'i, both subsects of Islam, have been persecuted by the Sunnis and Shias for their tolerence of other religions.
