I had heard that Muslims all over the world hold Osama bin Laden in high esteem with many viewing him as a hero. His face is appearing on t-shirts, buttons, etc. all over the Arab world. I had also heard that since last year, parents are naming their children Osama as a sign of respect and deference to that despicable man. But what surprised me is that this family is living in Germany and they want to name their child Osama bin Laden. http://www.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/europe/09/05/germany.osama/index.html
OBL was popular with muslims even before the 9/11 attacks : http://tf1.notrefamille.com/s/tf1/firstnames/firstnames_stats.asp?abs=1&firstname=OUSSAMA The stats for 2000/2001 are not yet published, of course. OHLC
same thing happened with hitler back in the 40's, but nowadays the only people wearing his stuff, well...they're inbred.
