"A marble tomb where a fortunate was berried, a hall in the ground where a homeless was berried. I passed by them both and I wondered!! They both share the same moldiness!!" Salah Jahin
Those words were quoted by some people not after the death of a "Spy Agent" against Egypt during times of war nor an "Allie with Israel" against the Arab world. Those words were quoted after the death of a 12 year old boy named Mohamed Alaa Mubarak who passed away on the 18th of May 2009.
His only sin was being the grandson of President Mohamed Hosney Mubarak. The president of Egypt!
I know that there are other hundreds of Egyptian children dying every day out of hunger, disease and violence. And I wish Egypt would feel the same sorrow for each and every child that passed away from this life because s/he was deprived from their rights in the same way they felt for Mohamed Alaa Mubarak. Yet this gives the rights to no one to be Happy for his death in revenge of his family or the ruling system.
"Lets not forget that there is a mother and a father who lost their child, a grandmother and a grandfather who lost their grandson"
Some people hoped it'd be a lesson for his family to start realizing their mistakes, others hoped for the other brother of Mohamed to pass away as well for a bigger punishment, and others denounced how the media reacted to his death as they aired Qouran and religious music all day long.
"Lets not forget that there is a mother and a father who lost their child, a grandmother and a grandfather who lost their grandson"
Maybe the media over did it. Maybe it should have just announced the death statement and the funeral. But I doubt they were requested to do so!! And I doubt the family worried about anything other than the lose of their little angle.

I don't know if it was me or if it's true that the streets of Cairo were sad yesterday. But what I know for sure is that I felt disgusted by the people who were cursing and attacking the government and the child's family in times of the death of a 12 year old boy.
"Lets not forget that there is a mother and a father who lost their child, a grandmother and a grandfather who lost their grandson"
"May the little soul of the angle Mohamed Alaa Mubarak rest in peace"
