Also, how could I have forgotten?

More sexy Arab men:

Z's nominations:

Ziad Rahbani, whose talent and hotness ooze out of him.

Rabih Abou Khalil, oud player and sex god.

Laila's nominations:

Taher Ben Jelloun, who is sexy, and not just for an ancient dude.

Said Taghmaoui, who you may remember from Hate and Hideous Kinky and, mostly cult-ishly, Three Kings. I also loved his role as the interpreter in I Heart Huckabees.

And one last one from me:

Mustafa Barghouti: Palestinian leftist democtratic candidate of 2004, and the man who should be prez of Palestine, as far as I'm concerned.
