I am sure they exist, but the fact I didn't hear of any cool ones says a lot. I never see a cool "Show HN" start-up which is from the Muslim middle-east.
And to remind you, we are talking about the entire Muslim middle-east here, with >100 million people who live in relative wealth and comfort. But Google is investing in Palestine, who are only a few millions who live in poverty and danger.

I'll bet you haven't heard from a lot of developers in Bangladesh either but they exist and are quite active. In their market, which HN is hardly a part of.

Which makes it extra worthwhile, as a 'leveler' it has much bigger effect this way than it would have elsewhere.
