Well, what I am saying is that there is nothing in Karbala tragedy which would offend any sunni. Be it Shah Latif or Maulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar or Allama Iqbal. Everyone mentioned Karbala, everyone condemned Yazid. And none felt like offending anyone. Because they included both Shias and Sunnis.

It was Jauhar, a Sunni, who condemned Yazid by saying:
Qatl e Hussain asl mein marg e YAZID he
Islam zinda hota he har karbala ke baad

Khwaja Chishti, another sunni, also condemned Yazid:
shah ast hussain, badshah ast hussain
deen ast hussain, deen panaah ast hussain
sar daad, na daad dast, dar dast e YAZID
haqqa k binaa e la ilaah ast hussain

Iqbal, another Sunni, says about Yazid:
Musa o Firaun, Shabbir o YAZID
Een do quwwat az hayaat aamad padeed
(Moses and Pharaoh and Hussain and Yazeed. These forces have been in struggle from the beginning.)

May be I am off topic. I am just saying that Karbala is not just a tragedy related to Shias. Sunnis own him and Karbala as well.

you are right that Karbala is tragedy for all the Muslims and no one can’t deny this, but different accounts of this tragedy do create conflict between different sects. Its time that we disown inherited enmities and come to the common points between all the sects.
