A terrorist sues a pub for £1,850 because its sign frightens him.

Khalid Baqa, a 60-year-old man, is taking legal action against the Saracen's Head Inn in Amersham, Buckinghamshire. He believes that the pub's sign is racist and incites violence, causing him fear and worry. Baqa, who has previously served time in prison for promoting jihad, is seeking £1,850 in compensation from the establishment. He also plans to sue 30 other establishments with the same name if he wins his case.

The pub's owner, Robbie Hayes, brushed off Baqa's claims, calling them a "joke." He stated that the pub has been known as The Saracen's Head for over 500 years and that the name is simply a part of its historical identity. Hayes also made it clear that the pub and its staff do not condone racism in any form.

Baqa has filed a "claim of money" form to the county court, alleging that he was deeply offended by the pub's sign when he passed by it one day. He claims that the sign promotes xenophobia, racism, and violence towards certain individuals. He says he immediately requested for the sign to be taken down, but the pub's staff have no record of any such complaint being made.

According to Baqa, he has contacted the pub four times and even visited in person to express his concerns, but to no avail. He believes that establishments with names such as The Saracen's Head Inn are offensive and should not be allowed to continue operating under such names. Baqa was sentenced to four years and eight months in prison in 2018 for disseminating terrorist materials. He mentioned that he has currently stopped engaging in any terrorist activities.

The term "Saracen" was historically used to refer to Arabs and Muslims in ancient Greek and Latin writings. It has since become obsolete, but Baqa believes that its use in the pub's name is offensive and inappropriate. The Metro has reached out to the pub for a statement, but there has been no response so far.

This is not the first time that a pub's name has sparked controversy. Last month, a petition was launched to keep the name of a pub called The Midget after some people found it offensive. The pub, owned by Greene King, was named after a car that was once manufactured in the town of Abingdon. Despite the complaints, the pub's name remains unchanged and continues to operate under its historical identity.
