Yasser Arafat's given name, as an Egyptian, was Abd al-Rahman abd al-Bauf Arafat al-Qud al-Husseini. this former mufti was his "uncle."
i think that this is a VERY important fact that is being overlooked--arafat conveniently dropped the al-Husseini from his name to avoid people figuring out the connection

Bingo! Definitely overlooked, probably often intentionally. After all, Clinton and the media worked hard to crown him "statesman."
