LOL, not really. The Arab economy alone (al countries) can only be compared to that of USA, China, EU and some other states. Not really. We are milking them. We shell our resources to them for a high price while we get everything we want in return. USA will never say a bad thing about KSA. Haha. Turkey can't even join EU despite being desperate to do so. You have, never had and never will have any influence in the Arab world. The best you can hope for is some influence in Syria and Iraq but these two Arab countries hardly represent the whole enormous Arab world.
Apart from that does the name Steve Jobs ring any bells? He is a Arab. His father is a Arab Syrian. Mention one single Turk that is even as successful as him, LOL. There is none.
The richest man in the world, Carlos Slim is the son of Lebanese Arabs. Richest man in the world.
Shakira is of Arab ancestry as well (Shakira - Arabic name and Mubarak Arabic surname). Salma Hayek as well.
Most of the beautiful models from Brazil have Arab ancestry as well. Many famous Brazilians and South Americans as well. Many famous Indonesians and Pakistanis/Indians are of Arab descend.
