In Amersham, Buckinghamshire, a convicted terrorist, Khaled Baka, has filed a lawsuit against The Saracen’s Head Inn, claiming its historic pub sign and name are “deeply offensive.” Baka, who spent four years in prison for distributing Jihadi propaganda, is demanding £1,850 in damages, saying the pub sign, which depicts a bearded Arab or Turk figure, is racist.

The landlord, Robbie Hayes, dismissed the claim as “a complete joke,” saying: “This pub has been called The Saracen’s Head for 500 years. He’s just trying his luck.” The name “Saracen” refers to Arabs or Muslims during the Crusades, a historical term with no racist meaning.

The case has caused widespread anger and confusion, with many calling it a frivolous lawsuit. Critics argue that it is wasting court time and pushing for outdated laws. One commentator said: “They want to bring back blasphemy laws and Sharia law. This is ridiculous and will not happen here.”



Baka has reportedly threatened to take legal action against 30 other pubs with the same name if he wins. Many are now questioning how such a case was allowed to move forward, considering Baka’s criminal history. One observer described the situation as: “The very definition of a ridiculous lawsuit.”

Commentators on TalkTV expressed frustration, saying historic pub names are part of British culture and history. “If he’s so offended by this, maybe he should live somewhere else where they take these things seriously. We don’t have the legal right not to be offended here,” said one.

This lawsuit has sparked debate about the balance between history and modern sensitivities. Some fear this case could open the door for more pointless lawsuits that clog an already overloaded justice system. As one critic put it: “These medieval fanatics are trying to score points. It’s nothing more than a PR stunt.”

The landlord, Hayes, hopes the court will dismiss the case quickly, saying: “It’s history. It’s part of who we are. I won’t let this nonsense ruin my pub.”

The story has left many asking whether modern Britain is allowing its culture and heritage to be attacked, and whether cases like this are being used to push personal agendas. For now, the fate of The Saracen’s Head pub remains in the hands of the courts.
