Major Islamic countries total over a billion people have fewer patents in their entire recorded history than did the citizens of Utah last year.

The Dinocrat has been busy adding up the numbers and has discovered some curiously interesting facts such as:
  • The Saudi Patent Regulations of 1989 established a patent registration system, covering any new article, methods of manufacture (including improvements in either of them) and product patents. In 1996, the Saudi Patent Office granted its first patents since its establishment in 1990.
  • Iran in 2001, had only one patent, whereas U.S. in 1997 had 111805 patents…

  • Or finally Indonesia, which totalled 30 patents over the last five years. These are Arabs, Persians, and South Asians, different peoples with vastly different histories, but one thing in common among them today: a culture of and belief in submission.

  • Remember this pathetic performance the next time some bonehead tries to argue cultural equivalency to you. How dare these people try to impose their ways on us, or dictate anything about the way we should live. Theirs is a formula for poverty, stagnation and misery. Imagine: over a billion people, and they have fewer patents in their entire recorded history than did the citizens of Utah last year.
