This Is Why The Star Newspaper Was Compelled To Apologise After Today’s Publication

The Star Newspaper has, yet again, found itself on the wrong side with the Muslim fraternity in Kenya after today’s publication.

The Radio Africa Group-owned newspaper was compelled to table an apology after publishing in its front page a photo of the Charlie Hebdo magazine that was released yesterday and which looked like it was mocking Prophet Mohammed.

Charlie Hebdo published close to 5 million copies yesterday where its front page had a photo that mocked Prophet Mohammed.

The Star newspaper took it as it was and published it on their page, causing an uproar from muslim leaders in the country.

The BBC reports that the Star was compelled to table a detailed apology over the same after realizing the damage they had done.

Muslims across the globe are outraged by Hebdo Charlie’s publication after 12 people were brutally murdered in its offices on January 7.

The BBC had this title:”Kenya’s The Star apologises over Charlie Hebdo cover”

“A Kenyan newspaper has apologised for publishing Charlie Hebdo’s cover, depicting Prophet Muhammad following an outcry from its Muslim readers. The Star said it “sincerely regretted” any offence caused by the “small reproduction” of the cover.”
