29:17Now PlayingA convicted terrorist is suing a centuries-old British pub over its sign, claiming it is “racist” and “xenophobic,” despite its historical significance. Khalid Baqa, a 60-year-old who previously served time for spreading jihadi materials, is demanding £1,850 in damages from the Saracen’s Head Inn in Chesham, insisting the sign—which depicts a bearded man in a turban—“instilled worry and fear” in him. “While walking through the area, I was shocked and deeply offended by what I saw,” Baqa stated in his legal claim, adding that he has now “stopped all the terrorism stuff.” Pub landlord Robbie Hayes dismissed the lawsuit as “ludicrous,” questioning why a name that has existed for 500 years is suddenly offensive. “I don’t think one man can change the historic name of a pub because he doesn’t like it,” Hayes said. Baqa has hinted at targeting other pubs if he wins, despite no records of his previous complaints, sparking outrage over what many see as an absurd attempt to rewrite British heritage through legal threats.
