Did king Hussein of Jordan win a Nobel Prize?

Noep... As of today there are no jordanian nobel prize winners... but i am sure its comming ;) - The Middle East as a whole (with the exception of Israel) has not had a lot of Nobel prize winners...

Here are stats:

- 4 EGYPTIAN

- 1 TURKISH

- 1 IRANIAN

- 1 YEMENI

- 11 ISRAELI (173 JEWISH)

those are no dount amazing figures for such big population...

Israel which only have 8 million people lead the chart even when facing countries that have 80+ million people like Egypt, turkey & iran... Thats not to say there arnt smart people there!

Maybe estate financing is not quite regularly in those countries.
