Afghan skateboarding? A call-to-prayer contest? New Muslim channel has it all http://gu.com/p/46kd2/stw #alchemiya #exciting!

#Alchemiya may be for #Muslims but it looks a lot better than much of the crap I don't watch on mainstream UK TV. http://bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-33563648 …

Personally I think this is great. All Muslim content in one place. Grab a free trial at least 🙂 #Alchemiya https://alchemiya.com

I was inspired to suggest this after watching the excellent @KhayaalTheatre performance "Edhi Means Love" on @Alchemiya last week.

@Alchemiya telling positive stories from the Islamic world - http://go.shr.lc/1LDbNZg via @Irish_TechNews #Alchemiya #Islam #PositiveStories

Really liking what @Alchemiya is producing

@Alchemiya is a new platform I’ve come across and looks much more appealing for the Muslim community than Netflix.
