UK Express Apologizes, Pays Libel Settlement for ‘Extreme Muslim’ Claims

The UK Sunday  Express apologized for its June 2011 story claiming UK school “taught extreme Islam,” the Guardian reported.

The school, King Fahad Academy, sued the newspaper for libel and defended itself against the Express‘ reporting with the school’s lawyer Clare Kissin explaining:  “The King Fahad Academy does not teach an extreme form of Islam, nor does it teach its students anti-Semitism or any form of racism, and it has not been infiltrated by Islamic fanatics,” the Press Association reported.

The Express also “agreed to pay an undisclosed amount in damages and legal costs,” the Guardian noted.
