Ok we shall not curse yazeed baba. Frankly, those were his Playboy years. It was not his fault the some 70 something people were killed by mistake. He was enjoying his time in heram. Yazeed boy was ladies man.
Ok seriously, I will do as you said but first you promise me here in writing that you will not not add (ra) after his father ( Ameer Muaviya ) name where ever you write
I am not shia. I detest the cursing phobia. I also abhour the person who started this sick tradition in Islam. His name was Ameer Muaviya. He was Yazeed's daddy. I do not respect him. I lost all respect for him once I knew that it was his brainchild. He started this cursing practice during his reign. What a sick mind.
Okay heres my view one is judged as a person by his performance.
Ameer Muwaiyah Radi Allahu anhu was a Warrior and a sahabee immediately there are two reasons for me to love him.
I hate the way he is villified. In the words of Ameer Mawauiya he himself told the Romans that if they dared to attack the Muslims and recapture thier territories then he Muwaiya would be the first man who would fight from the Army of Imam Ali.
That is a well documented fact... he loved his cousin and yes there was a rvialry but not a hatred it was a mutual respect.
As for Yazeed may Allah curse him he i do not believe was a Muslim... his actions prove it.
Where his father had shown restraint he showed he had no limits.
I might be wrong but centuries of Islamic teaching cannot be wrong. Yazeed was evil... he laid seige to Makkah and Medina shareef and his armies were more ruthless than even the Mongols.
Where others killed for desperation/defence or for reasons of war conquest to establish order for the right, he ordered killing for personal gain... and murdered for evil.
No kaafir will ever outdo Yazeed. And to this day i feel the evil he did is unmatched.
Throughout centuries of research by respectable .. those very respectable scholars who brought Islam down to Us.. They surely cant be wrong about their findings and research .. as they do Surely Do not want their character and personality smudged by false claims and false research.
So from Amongst many Scholars .. I ll just quote one scholar whose book is taught through out the Islamic World Book called ‘‘Aqaid al Nisfiya’’ and Explanation of the book called Sharah al Aqaid al Nisfiya .. in which Imam Nisafi says in regards to the Character of Yazeed .. That ‘‘Yazeed is a Kaafir’’..and I stick to this Conclusion and i abhor/detest those who say otherwise either cos they are simply ignorant or they do not have the required knowledge about Yazeed and his wrong doings so they may make a decision for themselves.
An eg. is that .. lets take Chief of Army Staff General Kiyani .. He gives the order to Attack ‘‘location x’’ now .. lets say in that location x .. are women, children, mosques, elderly, innocent, animals .. and the soldiers are given the order .. but amongst them some speak out that we cant attack as its wrong ..the general will court martial them and have them taken off the army ..why cos they stood for the right cause .. however, even if they didnt speak out .. the army goes and bombs that location x ..and kills all women children elderly, destroy mosques ..what ever comes in their way .. even though its the army who did it and general kiyani at his office in Islambad giving the order .. When the human rights commission or the supreme course over rules the order and court martial the General .. for his wrong doings ..whose gone be responsible .. not the army ..not atleast 100% even they are part of the massacre ..but the sole/main blame falls unto the General giving the order ..
similarly, This is what exactly what the maloon Yazeed did .. gave order ..to implement Evil .. and those who say .. he didnt kill Imam Hussain RA .. they Yazeed didnt give the order otherwise to stop the whole mess … Under his responsibility .. He killed children, enslaved the family of the Prophet SAW … or if Yazeed was Muslim and his followers Muslim .. then hadnt they head of the Hadith of the Prophet SAW .. that Killing one soul is like killing the whole of humanity .. what muslim does that .. Yazeed ordered the be-hurmati of Madina Shareef .. His soldiers parked up their horses in the mosque .. committed mass level of rape .. It is reported in History that around 1000 children were born out of rape after Yazeeds Army had attacked .. made so many women widow … this was the scene in Madina .. in Makkah he attacked there too .. to the extent that he ordered his men to attack the Ka’ba ..but as he did .. He came to his death …List goes on and on …and on …
after all this ..which sane Human being ..even this day n age .. human rights commision wud class this as total insanity and breach of human rights ..and then some people come and say .. He was muslim .. ..
^^ I think the debate of who killed who and who is muslim and who is kafir is endless, to me the most important point is how Imam Hussain (RZA) lived his life and why He (RZA) gave it away, if one is calling himself His (RZA) true devotee then one must follow the same life-style and should make stand for the right things, if that ONE is not doing it and just holding other responsible for the KILLING and is only living on it, then i am sorry say that devotee is their for his own nafs and not of the sacrifice Imam Hussain (RZA) made on the day.
Those were the great people, they taught us by example and we instead of paying attention to what they have left for us to carry forward, indulge ourselves in meaningless debate ( may be by doing this we satisfy our-selves for doing Jihad and actually getting away from performing what suppose to be our duty)..

I agree Hanibal .. Your advice is the most sound and sensible.. Its not what people did and didnt do before us .. Its about what WE NEED TO DO NOW ..
ps. I had to answer this for the OPs satisfaction .. as it may give them new information as to what being on the truth and falsehood means.
Yazeed DID NOT kill Husain RA. Husain RA was going to accept his Khilafa and was martyred by Khuwarij Kufi Shias in the way according to Sahih Bukhari.
