"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.

"May the little soul of the angle Mohamed Alaa Mubarak rest in peace"

that's heaven revenge for what he did to the pigs people.
Sara, Maybe that's a late comment .. but i didn't get a chance to read this nice piece of writing earlier..
I can't believe that any1 with the least amount of logic and humanity can believe that the Death of a cute little boy took place now, as a revenge & lesson for the 1st family...
because this means that we must have done a whole lot of mistakes as a nation and God is punishing us with this flood of diseases, disasters, having such a messy government & lousy living conditions.
actually after the Death of Mohamed Alla2 Mubarak i could see clearly how Far this nation has gone...
we are a mess.. because of the System and we are the system... i see a whole lot of ppl out there so not willing to work hard... so not willing to do there best.. so not willing to achieve anything real.. they get titles.. salaries -whether fulfilling or not-.. they get big offices or small ones.. with AC or just a stupid fan... and they set there doing nothing ... and wondering why life is not getting better..
and since they're doing nothing they have a lot of free time and energy to say stupid things.. Envy others.. & blame it all on the 1st family...
yes.. we're not so in love with them... but No, we shouldn't be that inhuman
and it's not the 1st family's mistake that we've turned into an inactive flock that eats only what's thrown to it...
People die every day. The real disaster isn't that people were cursing out this innocent little 12-year-old boy. The thing that was puzzling was that there were many sad over his death. Just because he's the son of I-don't-care-who, it does not mean that his death should lead to a country mourning. His death shouldn't be anything special to Egypt as a nation.
