Look let's face it. Jews are smart people and very creative and inovative. We create and took 129 nobel prizes in the last century. the arabs took 7. why is that? they need some Jewish smarts to keep them going...it seems

Moslems (and Arabs, although Azerbaijanis aren't Arabs) are very into respect and honour. The sort of behaviour exhibited by Azerbaijan's president needs to be rewarded by giving him lots and lots of respect, to show Moslems everywhere that respect is not something to be demanded and taken, but earned. And it is earned by performing decent, generous gestures, not by performing dominance displays like a chest-thumping gorilla. Jews everywhere - unite in praising the noble President Aliyev of Azerbaijan! Show the Moslem world that mutual respect can be contagious!

like that? going to a mosque on friday nights and to synagogue on Saturdays? huh??????? that is going to confuse them first of all, and then they will be rejected by both later on...this makes no sense

This guy is really smart! As a Sephardi Jew coming from Algeria I am very moved by this great news. All the people involved in this success must be rewarded. I infinitely prefer to live in the middle of jews and muslim than everywhere else ;) I hope that this marks the beginning of a renewal of the jewish-muslim golden age :-) And for all angry TBkers, it's good for us that you don't live in Israel, stay where you are!

President Aliyev and the very gracious people of Azerpaijan have done a favor for the Jews there, and this is a favor done for all Jews. I pray these great people are blessed in return - lots!

to anyone.

there are far more Jews on the Nobel selection board than there are Arabs or Muslims.

Yeap, this is certainly the reason ! You ave nothing more important to do that posting such stupid comments on Ynet ?

Genesis 16:12: "And [Ishmael] will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren." The Babylonian Talmud states that the Jewish G-d regrets having created the Ishmaelites: "R. Hana b. Abba stated: It was said at the schoolhouse, There are four things of which the Holy One, blessed be He, repents that He had created them, and they are the following: Exile, the Chaldeans, the Ishmaelites and Evil Inclination.

jan and its president. This is a stand up guy and that needs to be on CNN, et al, plus the Israeli government should push to bring him to Israel, or send a higher ranked politician to Baku. either way. Kole hacavode!
