[NFB-Muslims] NFB-Newsline, just curious

[Yasmin Reyazuddin]

Salams brother Ibrahim,
It is true that newsline does not offer newspapers from muslim countries.
We can investigate it and find out. The concern is that NFB may not know of
sources.
If you know of such sources and have contact with these news outlets let
them know about the newsline service.

I would like to invite you to come to our chapter meeting or come to our
state convention in Maryland.
You can get info about our chapter from www.nfbmd.org
