The big Muslim countries in the middle east are kind of fucked one way or another. Iraq and Iran alone have more than 100 million of the Muslims in the area. You're not going to see a lot of hot startup action from war zones or autocratic regimes. Jordan is one of the most stable and open societies in the Middle East. A year ago, I worked with some programmers from Oman, and they were pretty good.
