Over half the number of Muslim Nobel laureates (sciences and more), according to that Wikipedia link, have occurred since the year 200.
So, obviously, since the graph is spiking, we can expect to see lots more.
This is my sarcastic way of saying that taking a single metric which is affected by tons of different factors, and applying it to a complex
argument about, basically, sociology/anthropology (human behavior and culture) really doesn’t provide a lot of value.
I think your post opens a door to a lot of interesting conversations, but that using the # of Nobel Prize nominations per religious / cultural group as a metric closed most of those doors.

It’s also not very scientific.
