A convicted terrorist's lawsuit against a pub named 'Saracens Head' has sparked fears that the Saracens Rugby club could also be targeted. Khalid Baqa, who was jailed for terrorism offences, claims the pub's sign and name are offensive and incite violence.
Rugby fans are fearing Saracens could be the next victim of cancel culture after a convicted terrorist sued a pub called the Saracens Head over its 'offensive' name and sign. Khalid Baqa, who was jailed for four years for preparing Jihadi propaganda, has prompted a wave of fury after suing the Saracens Head Inn in Chesham, Buckinghamshire. He described the 'depiction of a bearded Arab/Turk' on the pub's sign as racist and also insisted the depiction 'incites violence'.
And he also said he found the name of the pub offensive. Saracen was a negative term used to describe an Arab or Muslim, particularly at the time of the Crusades. Baqa, who is claiming £1,850 in his lawsuit, told The Sun that he has 'stopped all the terrorism stuff now', adding: 'I've always been offended by pub names like these, but I've only recently discovered how I can challenge them online.' The convicted extremist has announced plans to extend his fight to 30 other establishments with the same name if he is successful. And now social media is awash with fears that Saracens Rugby, the 148-year-old London club steeped in history, could be next to be targeted. One user wrote: 'Have Saracens Rugby club had to change their name yet, or is that next on his hit list? I sincerely hope they tell him to just p*** off.'
