---Goose-chase?--- Sorry, but trying to track people by their middle-eastern regional TRIBAL names [al-Whatever] is probably NOT a good idea.
And then, to expand upon that by adding an extra syllable, and expanding on that some MORE by adding other towns, probably won't be productive or further this discussion.

I assume your post is in reference to my research, even though you didn't have the courtesy to direct your post to me. Just for the heck of it, let's recap....
Nick's email used the name Mudafer in reference to his uncle's family. News reports used the name al-Muzfar with respect to same. I suggested that possibly it was the same as Al-Muzaffar. Nita already posted validation that the press has used the name Al-Mudafer synonymously with Al-Muzaffar. Therefore, my assumption was not far-fetched.
You said one shouldn't add syllables. Yet in an earlier post to me, you justified that it was perfectly acceptable to add or delete consonants. That seems a bit inconsistent.
How about these names? (all used interchangeably) Saïd, Saeed, Said, Saheed, Sahid, Sayeed or Sayid
How about these names? Hussein, Hussain, Husayn.
Regarding tribal names, I believe we have already found they should not be ignored while researching Mr. Aziz. He has used all of the following names, about half of which are based on his "tribal name": Aziz Kadoory Aziz, Aziz K. Aziz, Aziz Kadoory, Aziz Kadorry, Kadoory Aziz, Aziz Kadoury Aziz, Joe Aziz, Aziz Al-Taee, Aziz Altaee, Aziz Taee, Aziz Al-Taie, Aziz Taie.
You find consideration of Al-Muzaffar from different geographic areas to be counterproductive. Yet, you yourself are now quoting an article that said the uncle lived near Baghdad (as does Sami Al-Muzaffar).
I don't consider these items goose chases anymore than following posts to other forums posting conspiracy theories. In fact, I find them less so. If you think it's a goose chase, don't chase the goose.
We don't all think the same way, nor analyze information in the same way. But the contribution, thoughts, and research of many is what gives FR its strength. I try to support everything I post with sources, state clearly when I am expressing opinion, and not make leaps in information. If you find it useful, great. If you don't, why not just ignore it instead of insulting the originator by posting mocking pictures?
Have a great day :-)
