Dr. Shane Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Is it Osama Bin Laden or Usama Bin Laden? Since his name is in Arabic I am sure this is an issue of English translation. I have only seen the U spelling since Obama became president. Is the media trying to distinguish better between Osama and Obama? Quote Pastoral Family Counselor...
