Hehe, I'm just making fun of this mess, but it makes sense. Classical Arabic had only three vowels (they used to sound like ah-ee-oo) that varied in length (short and long). As more than a thousand years passed since Mohammed (or Muhammad) wrote the Koran (or Qur'an), the language evolved and the pronunciation changed, so the different spellings reflect the battle between the effort to "write like it sounds" and the struggle to "write like it's written".
Because of this, Osama bin Laden is, according to the traditional spelling, Usāmah bin Lādin - see? It's inevitable, really. Learn the script while you can, it's probably worth it.
