Sokkari is the first Arab to head the BBC Arabic service - the oldest and largest of the BBC's international language services. After graduating from university in Cairo with a degree in pharmacology, Sokkari decided on a career in journalism, working first as a cartoonist in Egypt, Germany and Finland. Sokkari worked as a TV presenter for both Al Jazeera and the BBC, which eventually led him to take the reins of the BBC's internet experiment: BBCArabic.com.

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.

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.
