[One cannot love Yazid and still expect to enter Heaven where only righteous would go and enemies of Prophet (SAW) and his family cannot go. Heaven where Hasnain (RA) (Hasnain = Hasan plus Hussain, a name used as combined name for both) would be leaders, how can Yazid or his sympathisers can go there, is not only incomprehensible, rather completely impossible]

i am sorry but u keep on forcing me to repeat the christian anology here....
christians too say that if u believe in Christ u r in heaven, and if u dont believe in him (i.e to be the son of God) than u have no place in heaven....
when u tell them that jesus was not the son, but a prophet of God, they think u hate him...

hmm well, I am sorry if you found what I said is analogically similar to what Christian say, though I do not know why I feel differently neither I know where what I said is wrong :).
Have I wrote wrong that only righteous would go to heaven?
Have I wrote wrong that enemies of Prophet (SAW) or his family, would not go to heaven?
Note: Love of Prophet (SAW) is must to be Muslim (Quran says so). When we read darud-e-Ibrahim in salaat we pray for Salaamti and Barakat for Prophet (SAW) and his descendent. Now, how can a person be enemy of descendent of prophet (SAW) and fight them, still read darud-e-Ibrahim in salaat. ... [unless he is munafiq and liar, because even though he is enemy of descendent of Prophet (SAW) and fight them, still praying for the well being of the descendents of Prophet (SAW) in Salaat (if that person really do Salaat)]. ....
*Thus, such person who is enemy of descendents of Prophet (SAW) and fight them could not go to heaven (simple logic, as even if they could be Muslim is doubtful). *
Regardless, there is other reason apart of Salaat and reading darud-e-Ibrahim. Reason is that, if a person loves Prophet (SAW), that person cannot become enemy of the descendent of Prophet (SAW) or would fight with the descendent of Prophet (SAW) as it is inconceivable.
Just imagine: what would you consider a person that fight your children, humiliate them, do atrocities on them and kill them (Kill your descendents to such level that almost all of your descendents are killed except few that survived were lucky to survive). Would you consider that person your friend or enemy?
Now, if requirement for such person to be Muslim is that, he should love and respect you more then all wealth, power, or position of this world. He should love you more then even his family and children, then would you consider that person a Muslim?
Now, this above situation also applies regarding those who fought and killed the descendents of prophet (SAW). For them, Prophet (SAW) left this world meant that Allah is not there and what Allah has made obligatory on all Muslims should not be bothered, and thrown out of window. Thus, with this belief, they think they can fight and kill the family members (and descendent) of same Rasul who brought Islam to them.
Thus, have I wrote wrong that enemies of Prophet (SAW) or his family, would not go to heaven?
*Am I wrong to consider Yazid whose men on his behalf killed the descendents of Prophet (SAW), as enemy of Prophet (SAW) family? *
Now, since Yazid was enemy of Prophet (SAW) and his family, to me, I do not believe that he would go to heaven.
Though I have to say that I have no right to say with certainty that Yazid (or even Abu-jahal or Abu-lahab) will go to heaven or hell, as in the end, judge and master of heaven and hell is Allah. Only thing is that, according to what we know, I can say that he is unlikely to go to heaven, just like Abu-Jahal or Abu-Lahab. At least Abu-Jahal and Abu-Lahab was enemy of Prophet (SAW) because of differences in religion (beliefs), but Yazid was became enemy of Prophet (SAW) because he wanted to revenge his kafir ancestors killed in Gazwa-e-badar, and also for petty worldly things as power and money.
Even that power and wealth he got was because of the religion that Allah sent through Prophet (SAW) and this ranched person became enemy of family of same Rasul-Allah. He did not even realised that his freedom was also gift of Prophet (SAW) as, after the capture of Mecca, he should have been slave of Muslims of Medina, probably salve of same Hussain (RA) he got killed.
I also said that it is unlikely sympathisers of Yazid (or those who love him) would go to heaven.
That is obvious, as those who love Yazid or sympathies with him, from their deed, become partner to what Yazid did and would end up with Yazid. [Note: Anyone that love and sympathies zalim is as much zalim as the zalim he love and sympathies].
*Yazid only ruled for around 2 to 3 years: *
First event of his rule was massacre in Kerbela of Prophet (SAW) family. Hearing of Kerbala, Medina revolted and Yazid sent 12000 soldiers (mostly consisting of Syrian Christians) to punish people of Medina. Medina was conquered. Syrian Christian soldiers were allowed to sack the city and do whatever they liked for three days, when destruction and sacrilege followed and no house or sanctity of anyone was respected. Over 10 thousand people of medina killed including 700 prominent citizens.
After sacking of Medina, Meccan declared Abdullah bin Zubair as Khalif and thus Yazid army was ordered to move from Medina and attack Mecca. Reaching Mecca, Yazid army fixed catapults surrounding the hills of Mecca and started stoning Mecca, resulted in Kaba catching fire and crack on the black stone. Fortunately, Yazid died while his army was trying to capture Mecca, thus his army withdrew, and thus taking advantage of temporary ceasefire, Abdullah bin Zubair rebuilt Kaba (Few years later, King Abd al-Malik (5th Umayyad King) captured Mecca for Umayyad Kingdom).
Now, if anyone has love and sympathy with Yazid, what can I say about them?
