Muslims Across The World Gather To Clean Up The Streets After New Year’s Celebrations
While so many of us welcome the first day of the new decade with a raging headache, there’s a big group of people who woke up early to clean the mess partiers have left behind. If your first thought of who those might be is cleaning workers, you couldn’t be more wrong. As it turns out, the members of Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth, which has organizations in many countries around the world, spend the first day of January cleaning their cities.

The aim of this effort is not only to collect the garbage left from fireworks and littering people — the organizers aim to teach their members the importance of giving back to their communities, and instill lifestyle changes to become more eco-friendly.

While Muslims traditionally do not participate in New Year’s Eve celebrations, they often use the festive season to give back to people in need.

Funny how the main stream media has not reported this anywhere (in my country at least) a small % of Muslims are responsible for terrible things and the media like to portray all Muslims as evil when this is the true face of Islam. many people of other religions are responsible of terrible things too but the media has its own agenda.
