Osama bin Everywhere: The Many Faces of Islamic World has made the official selection for Sheffield Doc/Fest. The documentary followed by a Q and A with Farrah and Masood will be showing on Saturday 8th November at 4.30pm in Showroom 5 at the festival. Come along and say hello!
40,000 miles, 50 days and 120 Osamas later, Farrah and Masood have made it back to the UK in one piece.
Check out how they got on searching for the 'sunnier side of Islam' on Channel 4, 10.30am on Monday 22nd September.
We hope you enjoy it, thanks to everyone who helped!
As the final day of this incredible venture comes to an end, Osama HQ would like to thank everyone for taking part. Before I turn off the lights and lock up one last time I hope you enjoy this parting gift: a short clip of our fun day out with our Osamas.
We have had some great home-made Osama pictures uploaded to the site. Some have made images on the computer, others got creative with the sign they downloaded. Here are some of our favorites:
We made Canadian news!
Here it is kids - Farrah's first appearance on Canadian (inter)national TV! Farrah explains about the project, why they are doing it and the trouble getting into the states.
Check it out and let us know what you think, especially if you saw it going out live in Canada!

Canada is BRILLIANT! Within hours of Farrah and Masood arriving they have managed to become embroiled in a veritable media frenzy!
It all started with this article in Canada's The Star newspaper. Pretty soon after that we were told that they would be appearing on the 6 o'clock news tonight (so keep your Canadian eyes peeled) and then they even got invited on to the Bill Carroll breakfast show (CFRB) on Tuesday morning!
We here at Osama HQ are fully prepared for a huge influx of Osamas so Canada, don't fail us now!

This Osama came to light and was uploaded to the site using this form.
So another Osama for the pile bringing our total one closer to 500...
If you are an Osama or know an Osama, why not take the lead from Osama the Shopkeeper and upload your photo!
Every Osama we get submitted to us counts toward the mission so do Farrah and Masood a favour and make sure your Osama is up there with the likes of Osama Hosney and Chef Osama.

Osama the Celebrity Chef talks to Farrah about dealing with fame and spices and herbs at the "spice academy" in Cairo.

For some reason Egypt and Twitter don't seem to be getting along and Farrah is struggling to blog from her mobile. However, Osama HQ can exclusively reveal that last night both Farrah and Masood were invited to a wedding to look for Osamas! It turns out that the wedding went on all night and they ended up watching the sunrise at the pyramids. They're catching up on lost sleep now but promise to be online later today to tell us all about their adventure!
