That's the wrong way of looking at it. There's not many Muslims living in the US and there's obvious issues with shipping products internationally such as added costs, paperwork, customs, shipping times, etc... The idea is a niche.
Fair enough.
There's isn't a market because people don't need a subscription for the product and the differences aren't that unique. With food or Geek items you can send drastically different items each time. With this it's just a slight differences each time.
I was really just acknowledging that there is a market for fashionable modest clothing, per @Scot's suggestion.
I hate it when people say that there are X number of people or X number of dollars to justify an idea. The banking industry is a $15 TRILLION dollar industry but it doesn't mean that it's a good idea to open a bank! Wow how naive do you have to be to believe that spouting big numbers justifies an idea?
You're wrong here. Of course the size of the market isn't enough in and of itself to justify starting a business, but you always think about the potential scale that's out there.
Also, banks get started every day. I've had two people that started banks in my office in the last 3 weeks. How many bank president phone numbers do you have?
EDIT: No idea why, but my text appears inside the quote.
EDIT 2: It's possible to be critical of a young guy with an idea in a way that's encouraging and helpful instead of condescending.
