| Asalamu Alaykum wa rahamtullahi wa barakatu, Dear sisters, :-) I am thinking of starting an internet business and would like some feed back from you. First: How many of you like or actually do buy things like clothing, abaya's and such thought the internet? Second: Are there things that you would be interested in getting from Saudi Arabia that you find it hard to get? If so what kind of things would you want? Please I need your thoughts as I want to open a web site that sells all kinds of things from Saudi Jazak Allahu Khair, Amena :-) |

| [slm] The one thing I can not find on the internet is clothes made to my size. I think the manufactures forget that there are many 'large boned' cough cough, American Muslimahs. Also decorations to celebrate Eids with. Posters and lights and cool stuff. And knick nacks to hand out to the kids. Also hands on minitures of the holy places and hajj places. Where can one buy a piece of previous years kiswa cloth? I also want a big picture book, one from Saudi photographers, of the Hajj Places. and... hold on to your hat... some non alcoholic beer! |

| You can get marshmellows made from fish or agar agar (sea weed) gelatin in regular supermarkets at passover time in the Kosher section. Thanks for the site Jannah! About the 2% .. how irritating! I have found 1/2 of 1%.... What is wrong with them? get rid of that .5%! |

| [slm] I'm actually looking to buy some abayas over the internet. It would be great if you could make some tall sizes. I have seen few sites that have tall clothing. |
