My point was is that his name is relevant because we're at war with a particular group of people that share similar type names and can not be compared with Greek or Swiss or Polish or French or Scandinavian names. Its not a difficult concept.

And as you already pointed out, early stories indicate that his being a Muslim probably played a role therefore making it even more relevant.

Its like pretending the 9/11 hijackers weren't muslims. No, we're not at war with all of them, just the ones that would murder civilians or military personnel.
