I will have to disagree with that. Dr. Salaam was talented from a very early age. With that came the opportunity to study. Who funded his studies before he went abroad? The Ahmadiyya Jamaat. He had the backing of his religious community. How many times does one see that is today’s Muslim communities or countries. They dont place nearly as much importance on education and furthering knowledge as they should. There are more than 1 Billion Muslims in the world, but less than 10 noble prize winners. However, the population of Jews in less than 1% in the world yet they have won 20% of the noble prizes. Obviously they are doing something right.
Talent has to be cultivated and the sooner Muslims realize this the better.
