Re: Your Views and Dr. Zakir Naik!
LOL Kufis as traitors ! Do you know who wrote letters to Hussain from Kufa ? their leader a respected Sahabi who narrates in Bukhari and Muslim.
And bear in mind Yazid is also responsible for even of Harrah which is far my horrific than Karabala.How many sahaba and Tabeen were killed in Harrah ? Kufis and the syrian mercenaries atleast hesitated for the whole day before they killed hussain.And Ubayuallah b Ziyad and his father Ziyad were Sufyanis hired muscle in Iraq responsible for keeping them loyal to syrian hegemony.
If you want to see the character of yazid read the testimony of Sahabi Abdullah b hanzala who was an ansari , forget hussain b ali
Zaik was I think giving the middle finger to the 12er shia community when he praised yazid otherwise its really quite incredible that someone like him who is so well versed in Islamic hisroy /hadith would be ignorant of what he did.Obviously 12ers took full advantage of this to present him in the darkest colors.
Ofcourse whether yazid was good or bad is not a issue that will lead to salvation but what is important that muslims understand the concept of proper leadership in Islam, which rules according to Quran and Sunnah rulers like Sayyidna Abubakr/umar.And they catagorically reject the leadership of tyrants who violated sunnah and oppressed the religious muslims like most of ummayyad rulers.
