Why very few Muslims have won Nobel prize?

Why very few Muslims won Nobel prize in science? 

Some people site the list of Nobel prize winners and say Muslims have not contributed much to science. This is a very superficial approach and shows total ignorance of the history of science. 

Modern West was in dark ages when Islamic Empire was at the peak of Science and civilisation. The West took much of their knowledge from the Muslims and built upon it, this is a well documented fact. 

For a small sample just read this CNN article 'Muslim inventions that shaped the modern world' By Olivia Sterns.  http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/meast/01/29/muslim.inventions/index.html

The present day Muslim world's "underdevelopment" is due to the centuries of European colonialism and thereafter the continued exploitative neo-colonial control and Western meddling. 

Muslim world is not alone in this so called scientific underdevelopment. Same trend is seen in the relative lack of Nobel prize winners in science from Christian African countries or South America or even India (whose population is almost comparable with all Muslim countries put together)? Why are they behind the West in Science? Out of the very few Indians who won Nobel prize in science, almost all of them studied and did research in Western Universities, not in India. The reason is obvious.
