Pretty sure it's just us trying to make the phonetics sound right. His birth certificate doesn't have "Osama" on it with English letters. The spellings differ, and not one is "right."

Noted.

Note it next time someone gets irritated about an un-funny, un-entertaining, totally pointless hijack.

If you plan on derailing things, entertain me...or at least try.

How exactly was it a hijack?

It's like the times I'm cruising along reading and enjoying a thread and some goofron starts talking about their dookie or some freakneck commences making guhey jokes about some poster taking it in their pooper. That's just such a colossal waste of time. So I usually get out of the thread and stop reading it.

أسامة بن محمد بن عوض بن لادن‎ = Osama bin Laden's full name (Arabic is read from right to left) The first letter = Alif = Silent = ا

The reason for the change is that the first letter in his name is "alif" which is a silent letter with an "implied" vowel attached to it. The Arabic alphabet, like other Semitic languages, is consonantal with no vowels. Because there are no vowels and no concrete rules of transliteration, either an O or U is appropriate to attach to the alif as the vowel sound.

So it should be "Sam Bin Laden"?

I think it was sarcasm, Geronimo equals big giant balls to stand up to the man, Osama equals little nut balls to stay in a multi-million dollar mansion while sending out 16 year old to blow themselves up. Plus Geronimo was Apache ;)
