i've seen it as 'usama' primarily in europe.

i'm pretty sure that in proper arabic it's pronounced "O"sama.

I keep wondering the same thing. Everytime I see U.S.A.ma, i keep thinking it must be some Freudian slip or something......😛

Usama Bin Laden is what it is...

In europe... and we spell the K in irak as a K too...

Both are as correct as the other, which is to say neither are correct. The first character in his name is one of those with no roman equivilant.

It's spelled s.c.a.p.e.g.o.a.t.

Scapegoats generally are not guilty of anything, which clearly is not the case.
