Thank you for commenting, Najwan, and for your support. The notion of being the “13th” was taken from his arabic interview posted on his website at http://www.amrkhaled.net/articles/articles2365.html
Now that I read it again, the words he used sound more like “nominated as 13th most influential” as opposed to “selected as 13th …”. If I add a question mark at the end of the title, the statement will no longer have to be true.
The Daily Show’s Jon Stweart recommends this strategy as he mocks its alleged practice by Fox News to remove the need for accuracy in their reporting or statements. If in doubt, just add a question mark!

Aha. What a way to blur the facts. Meh, not a big fan of Amr Khaled anyways. That link didn’t work btw.
Luvvvvvvv Jon Stewart! That guy is just brilliant!

Thanks Najwan. Fixed the link. There was an extra period after “html” in the address.
