The snooty intellectual elite, as represented by Foreign Policy magazine and its readers, has selected the top 20 intellectuals of our time. Here’s the top 10:

1. Fethullah Gülen

2. Muhammad Yunus

3. Yusuf Al-Qaradawi

4. Orhan Pamuk

5. Aitzaz Ahsan

6. Amr Khaled

7. Abdolkarim Soroush

8. Tariq Ramadan

9. Mahmood Mamdani

10. Shirin Ebadi

What a coincidence: all appear to be Muslims. If it had been Shintoists who flew planes into the World Trade Center 7 years ago, the top 10 names would have been Japanese.

From there, the list veers even farther into farce, with juvenile America-hater Noam Chomsky at #11 and demagogic snake oil salesman Al Gore at #12. Liberal comedian Stephen Colbert was the top write-in candidate.
