Original sentence: On January 20, 1996, Arafat was elected president of the PA, with an overwhelming 88.2 percent majority (the only other candidate was Samiha Khalil)
Edited sentence: Another more pressing reason to refuse to bury him on the Temple Mount was his history as the grandfather of modern-day terrorism.On January 20, 1996, similar to other tyrannical despots, Arafat was elected president of the PA, with an overwhelming 88.2 percent majority (the only other candidate was Samiha Khalil).The Temple Mount was (and will soon) used for the first two of three Jewish Temples of G-D which were constructed on this site.To bury such a terrible murderer on such a holy spot would be the height of hypocrisy
