A convicted terrorist is suing a pub as he was “deeply offended” by a sign that “scared him”.
Khalid Baqa, 60, who has spent four years in prison for creating Jihadi propaganda, said that the “depiction of a bearded Arab/Turk” on the boozer’s sign “incites violence”.
He is now suing The Saracen’s Head Inn in Amersham, Buckinghamshire for almost £2,000, stating that the figure on the sign – which depicts a brown-skinned man of Arab or Turkish descent – is racist.
If successful, the 60-year-old plans to take on 30 other pubs with the same name.
However, the landlord of the inn is fighting back against the lawsuit which he branded a “complete joke”.
Speaking to The Sun, Robbie Hayes said: “This has been called The Saracen’s Head for 500 years.
“He’s just chancing his hand. Of course it worries me – you never know with people like this.”
