[NFB-Muslims] NFB-Newsline, just curious

[ibrahim abedrabbo]

Salam dear listers,
I have been using the NFB Newsline app on my iPad and iPhone for several years. I should say that it is one of the best services that any blind organization can offer to its members and the community at large. The NFB must be commended for this effort.
It caught my attention however, the absence of all news sources from the Muslim countries, unless I missed something. So I read the entire list of papers and magazines and also noticed the absence of all African news sources from the list too. I found papers from All US fifty states and almost all the English speaking countries; Canada, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and India. I also found one daily from Japan, one from Russia, and two from Israel.
I do not know what to make of the absence of the African and Muslim countries from the list! Were they dropped by mistake, lack of importance, ignorance of the news sources available in English, or is it a deliberate decision?
Since many of you are active within the NFB and have been for many years, how do you explain this lack of the news sources from Africa and the Muslim countries?
Look forward to listening to your opinions.
Salamat to all of you.
Ibrahim
