CAIRO: Supporters of ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak have called to rename a downtown metro station ‘Mubarak' after the name was changed to ‘martyrs' in the aftermath of Egypt's January 25 Revolution, which toppled Mubarak from power. A group of Mubarak's supporters launched a new Facebook page called ‘The Silent Majority.' Page admins call for provocative actions, such as removing or destroying any sign in the metro system with the name ‘martyrs.' “I don't want to see the word ‘martyrs' in the metro,” said the page admin. “Whenever I take the metro I remove this name and put the name of Mubarak, and I want everyone to do the same,” he added. One of the page's members said to revolt against a corrupt ruler is worse than the regime of the corrupt ruler, because strife could come from a rebellion. The member said this can be seen clearly in Egypt now and gave the following examples: 1. Continuing decline in the Egyptian economy and stock market 2. Continuing decline in tourism 3. High unemployment 4. Arab hatred toward Egypt 5. Foreign investors' fear of investing in Egypt 6. Egypt becoming unsafe after 30 years of safety 7. The existence of too many coalitions and political parties Another member said he saw a dialogie between an Israeli man and his grandson, which went like this: Grandfather: Son, do you know what happens to the enemies of Israel? Grandchild: No, I don't know grandfather. Grandfather: [Egypt's] King Farouk fought us back in 1948, but his people kicked him out of the country. Abdel Nasser fought us in 1956 and 1967, but his people poisoned him. Sadat fought us in 1973, but his people killed him while he was celebrating his victory. Mubarak, the one who destroyed out fighters and our best pilots, was topped and insulted by his people. This is the fate of Israel's enemies.
