BIRMINGHAM – A group of Muslim volunteers, who have been cleaning Birmingham’s rubbish-strewn streets, have been branded “bearded heroes” in a new BBC video which praised their volunteerism to help the British community.

“The Bearded Broz is a volunteer group that helps residents in the West Midlands, offering practical help and an emergency food service,” BBC reported on September 28.

“They shot to fame with the Birmingham bin strike, when they helped local residents clear their rubbish.”

The bearded Muslim volunteers appeared after a strike by workers at Birmingham City Council left bin bags uncollected.
