Hypocrites ! المنــــافقون

Give me a fucking break! I can't take this bullshit anymore. Hypocrisy! Hypocrisy! Hypocrisy! Hypocrisy!

Mubarak's grandson died? I'm heartbroken, but to declare three days of mourning at the State TV and private satellite channels, stop broadcasting films and songs, and just keep playing religious tunes and Quran on private and public radio channels?!! That's just too much..! Oh, and not only that, the Muslim Brothers, Ayman Nour  and the opposition were also quick to send condolences and express their devastation over hearing the news of the tragic event. Film screenings are canceled and the Cairo Opera House is in "chaos."

Excuse me, Who is Mohamed Alaa Mubarak? A government official? A national hero? Who is he to put the state on hold for three days?

Why didn't we have this national mourning when the kids in Duweiqa died? Everyday there are children who die in Gaza because of Mubarak's insistence on strangling the strip by closing the Rafah crossing, No national mourning for that? What about the Mahalla children who were abused by Mubarak's police in April 2008- No mourning for them?! What about those children who get whipped by Mubarak's police in custody, no mourning for them?! No national mourning for the Shaha kid tortured by the police by electric shocks to death?!

Hypocrites!

UPDATE: Read those two postings by Ishtraky Thawry and Gaber...

Absolutely true, but I think your earlier post was mean and crossed the limit.

It's normal, a member of the ruling dynasty died! thank God that they didn't declare 3 days of mourning in the country and shut down the airport! You don't know maybe Egypt lost its Messiah, and the liberator of Palestine!
