It may be that the change of name from Saracen's Head to St Nicolas Place does reflect change of use, rather than a wish not to "offend" Muslims. Even so, the offending name should be kept. If Muslims think it has been changed to avoid giving offence, they will see it as a victory - "another yard of territory".

Remember, too, that infidel concessions are never enough. A pub is still a pub, whatever it is called, and thoroughly haram. And "St Nicolas Place" is just as offensive to Muslims in its own way.

I have a suggestion for a pub name. By analogy with French Connection UK's double-take-inducing "FCUK", let us call a pub "PBUH". That would set the cat among the pigeons.
