Steve Jobs - Syrian American
Posted by fact checker at 12:36 UAE time
Correction, someone said Steve was Lebanese..he is not. His father was a US college professor from Syria, and his mother was American. Check it out on Wikipedia.com.

Arabs...?
Posted by Victor at 09:09 UAE time
Steve Jobs is an arab, of Lebanese origin. If your list spans "the world" then you'd be remiss for him not to be in it.

Elissa??
Posted by Carlos Saiid at 03:51 UAE time
Who puts this list together anyhow. Elissa?...You have got to be kidding. This is an embarassment to Arabs and the culture of beautiful Arab music and musicians. Then you drop Fairouz to the bottom of the list.

Power or Popularity
Posted by Sherif Hosny at 13:31 UAE time
The main reason why people are upset about this list is because the authors have confused two issues. A powerful person does not have to win a popularity contest that is why as a "Business" website you should focus on real influential and powerful people who can influence business and economics and leave the cultural and art rankings for someone else who knows about them.

Dual nationality
Posted by Deborah at 11:55 UAE time
Interesting.
But why is it that Afnan Al Zayani is both Bahrain's and Egypt's most powerful woman?

A joke
Posted by Johar at 20:19 UAE time
These people may be influential in the Middle East but not in the World.
Who cares about Elissa and her fake rack and bad nose job outside the region?
Editors' Reply: Elissa gives joy and happiness to the many millions of Arabic speaking people who love her music and videos. We do not have to seek the approval of what is outside our culture to give recognition to what is within.

Selection criteria
Posted by Maher Ahmed at 14:38 UAE time
It is an interesting list and hard to argue for or against many. The one point I would make is that the selection criteria seems very shallow and tends to favour those who were born into privileged backgrounds and those who basically have a lot of money. Nothing wrong with that but I think it ignores some people who have achieved great things and have maybe not got the media attention that their achievements deserved, people who would inspire the ordinary masses on the street.
The examples I have in mind are people such as Sir Magdi Yacoub, one of the greatest transplant surgeons in the world, his work still influences today's surgery or Zaid 'Zeddy' Al Refai, the first Arab to climb everest and one of less than 100 people in the world who have climbed the highest mountains on every continent in the world. Maybe even someone like the Aga Khan, not an Arab, but his work has benefited a lot of less privileged people in the Middle East.
