My original comment was more about how you excused yourself out of providing proof, rather than stating that there were no such people. For anyone curious about the contents of your link, here's a TL;DR of the people listed:

Rhazes - Muslims beat him over the head with his own book. Crazy stuff.

Sevetus - Executed for theological reasons. Ironically beaten to his scientific discovery by a Muslim, Ibn-al-Nafis who figured it out some 300 years earlier. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_circulation

Galileo - Well known, put under house arrest.

Domagk - Nazis kept him from getting his Nobel prize.

Einstein - Nazis got mad at him after he left the country.

Turing - Given hormone injections.
