I decided to ask a muslim friend about this. Here's his explanation; The Correct word is Muslim, Moslim was the result of a much older and incorrect translation. It's definately Mohammad not Muhammad (he laughed at the very idea - Which is suppose is no different from our Lord Jesus Crisp) The Guy's name is Osama Bin Laden (oh and BTW, he's in Pakistan if they want him that badly)

Quote: The Guy's name is Osama Bin Laden Hmm, the FBI lists him as Usama:  Quote: It's definately Mohammad not Muhammad Google lists twice as much for "u". And muhammad.com, muhammad.net are sites about him. posted by knn |

 Osama was born in the middle east. His name will have been written in arabic letters on his birth certificate. There is no 'right' way of spelling his name with our western letters. We just have to make it look close enough to the pronunciation. It seems that 'Usama' is another possible spelling. posted by fatpie42 |

 There are sometimes lists with 4 or more spelling versions of 1 name. That's why the FBI always captures the wrong men. posted by knn |

...Secretary of State Colin Powell, who asserted that the al-Qaida leader was alive and operating in the western part of Pakistan.

 As you may know, Usama bin Laden was travelling thru the US under the protection of CIA as "Tim Osman ♣" (or "Tim Ossman ♣"). in the spring of 1986 [under Republican Reagan] when bin Laden—traveling under the name “Tim Osman”—visited the United States under State Department and CIA sponsorship for the purpose of securing arms and aid for Afghan rebels fighting against the Soviet occupation forces in Afghanistan. Just check the paper: It was written "Osama/Usama". [CLICK HERE TO VIEW THIS PICTURE] posted by knn |
