There is nothing new under the sun

Anyone who studies history, understands that history is created with bias. This is an absolute truth that was practiced by the Romans, by the Church, and is notably practiced by Islam, which has made a concerted effort to deny the connection of Jews to Judaism, as ridiculous as it sounds. However, this is precisely the modus operandi of the Nazis, who made an intense effort to erase every reference to Jews and Judaism in all of its evil domains. This is history. What largely survived in Europe, had been buried and hidden.

But, I have a theory. I believe that the total inability of Islam to be truthful about anything is responsible for the fact that to the best of my knowledge, not a single Muslim has been awarded a Nobel Prize in Science. Science requires a replicability, which cannot be done by people who are accustomed to lies. My neighbor's brother is a physician, who has been involved in assisting the police authorities in New York in the administration of lie detector tests. They have found that generally, it is useless to use the lie detector on Muslims, as they don't seem to register the galvanic resistance changes that other people exhibit when they tell a lie.
