Re: The question of Bayt
No the above qutoe seems to typical piece of exaguration, infact Imam Hussain placed three conditions to aviod the fight: historical books provide these conditions as :
1) let me go to yazeed and i'll talk with him on the issue of bayt on One-to-One basis.
2) Allow me to go join Jihad against Kufaars.
3) Let me go back to Makkah.
Now if Imam (RZA) would have said the above thing then he under no circumstances would have given the above mentioned conditions to negotiate.
The Incident of Karbala ( like many other things) has been exagurated by a particular cult, an dit is understood why, as this incident is one of the main reasons of their existence.
