I met up with one of the guys who was involved with this. The reaction from the public and media was exactly what the Billboard was designed for. I think it's good for Christians to be involved in signage like this that creates a stir and makes the secular world think about who Jesus is - however, I think it needs us Christians to step up and give "...answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have..." (1 Peter 3:15, NIV)
I think it is a great conversation starter but I am not a big fan personally. I feel the poster neglects to tell some important things people need to hear, like God does love Osama BUT he doesn't love the things he has done. Plus all the people and families of victims of killings by Bin Laden might find this raw.

I agree Stan the little man. I like a little controversy. It seems too
that with this billboard it is the gospel that is causing the offense.
I'm a fan of the poster campaign ... however ... my 2 cents here
