Khalid Baqa, who has previously spent four years behind bars for preparing Jihadi propaganda, wants £1,850 from the Saracen’s Head Inn in Chesham, Buckinghamshire. He has condemned what he described as the “racist depiction of a bearded Arab/Turk” on the pub’s sign and also insisted the depiction “incites violence (by Muslims).”
Daily Mail (h/t Chris JB) Baqa has asked for £1,850 from the landlord and has also announced plans for take on over 30 other pubs with the same name if successful.
However, the landlord of the pub is fighting back against the lawsuit which he has slammed as 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.’ The 52-year-old added that none of his pubgoers are racist and that he did not believe the sign or the name were racist but instead were ‘simply historic’.
In a submission explaining the reason behind his claim, Baqa said the sign – which depicts a brown-skinned man of Arab or Turkish descent – ‘instilled worry and fear in me since it was clearly xenophobic, racist and inciting violence to certain people.’
He goes on to claim to have contacted the pub four times and even visited the public house in person. However staff at the Saracen’s Head Inn have no record.
In 2018, Baqa was jailed for four years and eight months after admitting five counts of dissemination of Terrorist publications. Speaking to The Sun, he claimed to have always been offended by pub names like the Buckinghamshire pub.
I wish someone advertise their pub/ store with the pic of Mohammad with a bomb on his head . That pic is hilarious! Of course , the business wouldn’t be in business long due to throwbacks complaining but it would be funny to see on the news.
Maybe they should give him a free ticket to the Salad-in bar
This is another attack on the UK, citizens and establishments by backwards, sand filled heads of hatred who hate everything post 1200.
They love to use our modern facilities
They just don’t want any of us to use them
Whether this clown is home grown or imported it would be worth checking his legal status. Either way, an 1850 cm hole should do it
Oh Jeeze. There a security wallah in a Greggs bakery near us with a dyed red beard. Now I know what is it dyed with – yuck!!
More here … lots of pubs in the UK called this …

What next a ban on pubs selling beer. But I do love to use perfumed alcoholic hand gel on trains and buses when they come on …
Islamic lawfare.
What does he need the £1850 for? Airfare home?
Could take his whole tribe home for that …
Maybe I should sue him, as his appearance incites me to violence….toward him!
Throw in the British Army’s “Saladin” armoured car!
He can pound more sand!
There was a British Army Armoured Personnel Carrier called the “Saracen.”!
He can pound sand!
Does he use the traditional mohammedan method of coloring his beard red, camel urine?
Good question.
…until their wives start menstruating.
Then they use that.
