Individuals are the building blocks of society. Hence it is the right place to start. The Buddha was not the only teacher who taught about rebirth and reincarnation.

Who is this Michael Hart who compiled this list? Never heard of him. Was it peer reviewed? Seems he merely chose 100 names he fancied and ranked them according to his own "wisdom". BTW, he also stated that some people influenced the world for the worse. Oh-oh, maybe he was referring to the Prophet "boom! boom!" Muhammad?
100 most influential people in the world
This is a list chosen by Michael H. Hart, from the book ‘100 most influential people in the world’. He chose people on a ranking of who had done the most to influence the world. I recommend reading the book as it offers an interesting insight into the influence of different individuals. As the author notes, ‘Influential’ does not include a judgement on whether they influenced the world for the better or worse.

Bang, never mind, never mind. Later you got time, I'd rather you spend it doing other things! Don't waste your time on me.See...hes not a Muslim. He cld have name the other 99 person. But he placed the Prophet, pbuh, the top despite all those neg comments on the Prophet. I m sure Michael is a knowledgeable n well known person compared to most retards here who are well known google scholars, copy paste! Chey!
Oh ya. Not just Michael H. Even Dalai Lama also praised the Prophet pbuh. Later got time i will quote u some famous name who paid tributes to the Prophet, pbuh, too.
