I wonder which is his first, middle and surname

Is his first name "Mujahid"
His middle names "Osama" and "Bin"
and then "Laden" his surname?

Or do the arabic construct their names in other ways perhaps?

"Mujahid" isn't his name -- it's a title, meaning "one who takes part in a Jihad (Holy War)"

"Osama" (alternately spelled "Usama") is his given name.

"Bin Ladin" is his surname.

As far as I'm concerned, his name is "Shit".

I would go a bit farther and say "it" doesn't have the right to a name.
