From Wikipedia[0]:

Under President Arafat, the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority adopted the 2003 Amended Basic Law, which stipulates Islam as the sole official religion in Palestine and the principles of Islamic sharia as a principal source of legislation. The draft Constitution contains the same provisions. The draft Constitution was formulated by a Constitutional Committee, established by Arafat in 1999 and endorsed by the PLO.

Arafat was chairman of the PLO from the 1960's, before the Lebanese Civil War started. These were his policies.
The dates in the excerpt are 1999 and 2003!
