Before taking this poll, keep in mind that Osama Bin Laden is a major religious hero in Saudi Arabia, and Saudi Arabia is America’s number one closest ally (or so were told that by Washington)…

Sure, but why not be a man and go to a military base of fire station and express your opinion.
I know you would love to spit on the troops, you're just too spineless to do it...

I would think not... only because some people probably like him as much as they do Bush lol. (sarcasm)
I guess the only way it would be "acceptable" if you were doing a dead Osama Bin Laden.
Otherwise.. folks in the military might want to shoot you, or lynch you. I know that after 9/11, a white guy in Mesa, Arizona dressed in a similar garb that Osama would wear, and he was shot several times, by another white guy.

Depends,he is a scary guy,so its ideal for halloween.
Once in Spirit Week at my school,Friday was,"dress like a celeberty day".So one guy dressed up as Osama Bin Ladin,he was Caucasion so he added this brown paint on his face,it looked really cool,he had the beard and the clothes.But he was sent home 15 minutes after getting to school.My peers found it really funny,same with me,I mean it is humerous,Osama is a scary guy and thats ideal for halloween,your basically making fun of him.
But some people might not find it funny,and as that one guy said,some nutjob might try to kill you.

Heck yeah. Freedom of speech. You can dress up like anyone you wish. Take along some pancake makeup to hide the black eye you probably will get. That's another American freedom.

If you live here in the US, it's not a problem, just make sure you do not interact with anyone who practices Islam and very religious. Other than that, I don't think people would care.

No, in my opinion it is not acceptable especially for children. If adults want to make some kind of statement by doing this, more power to them. But children who do not understand who and what he is should not open themselves up to what may happen.

It is probably a bad choice, like dressing up as Hitler.
I would go with something more conventional

Some people might not see the humor or irony in it. Last time I checked it was still a free country.

What an idiotic idea unless you want to have your halloween ruined by being shot or arrested.
