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.”
