I believe "bin" means "son of". It's not usually capitalized.

probably because it is not actually a noun, or name. it is like Juan de Carlo,,,it just means where person is from or something..Osama and Laden are his first and last names, bin is not a proper noun...does that help?

are you a fan of him?why do you asking us about Osama's name and not others?~whatever
'bin' here refers to 'son of'..so Osama is son of Laden...for a girl..'binti' is being used.Is it clear?

I'm guessing it means "of"
as in United States of America
or Charles de Gaulle

For the same reason "von" in German, "van" in Dutch, and "de" in French are not capitalized. They all mean "of." The word "of" in English names is one of those words which is "understood," not actually used; in languages such as Arabic, it is explicitly used.

That reminds me:
Come Mr Taliban rid me of Osama
Airforce come and it flatten my home
Cruise Missile
Tomahawk
10 ton bomb
Airforce come and it flatten my home
The bin doesn't rhyme in this song, so who cares
