Are you suggesting that Obama bin Laden is typical of Islam? If so,
you're probably right.

I was wrong. Poster 1? Osama bin Laden was changed to Obama bin Laden in
the reply by Poster 2. I should have double checked first and I now retract
the Chez Watt. Looks like Poster 2 is not a trustworthy replier. Jeebus!

No need for you to apologize.  My understanding is "Obama bin Laden"
is a common Christian Nationalist trope.  Why should they respect
someone not born in the U.S.?

 

 Some spell checkers will "correct" the same pattern automatically
following an initial correction.  It's possible Ron Dean's spell
checker suggested to replace Mark Isaak's "Osama" with "Obama", which
Ron Dean carelessly accepted, and then it automatically replaced all
following versions of "Osama", including Ron Dean's.  This has
happened to me.
 Although my spell checker is smart enough to exclude quoted text, and
so would not have made this particular error, it's not smart enough to
know the difference between what I meant and what I told it to do.
 This is similar to what happened to the authors of "Of Pandas and
People" which helped to document its conversion from a Creationist
book to a cdesign proponentsists one.
 Nevertheless, it remains a remarkable and embarrassing Chez Watt.
