This logic is undeniable and crystal-clear.

This logic is undeniable and crystal-clear. Was this a battle of truth against falsehood? Azam Tariq Nasibi stated: Kr-hcy.com states: " THE BATTLE OF KARBALA IN 61 A.H. WAS NOT A BATTLE BETWEEN TRUTH AND FALSEHOOD OR ISLAM AND KUFR AS IS ALLEGED BY THE SHIAS". This is an attempt by the champions of the 21st century Nasibi movement to deny how all Muslims, Shia and Sunni alike, view the Battle of Karbala.

To most Muslims, Shia and Sunni alike, Husayn (as) embodied faith and the true religion, while Yazeed embodied kufr and the devil. After all, did not Husayn (as)'s grandfather tell the Muslims to side with Husayn (as). Thus most Muslims see in Karbala the ultimate battle between the forces of good and those of evil.

The Nasibis would instead have us see it another way, simply as the embodiment of good happens also to be the Third Shia Imam, and this adulation for him by the Sunni world is intolerable to the Nasibi cult. Ansar.Org's favourite Nasibi son Afriki also sought to discredit the martyrdom of Imam Husayn (as) - by mocking the notion of most Muslims that this was a battle between truth and falsehood.

In his article on 'Who killed Imam Husayn?' he stated: Ansar.org states: However, it is regrettable that despite the huge amount of attention the subject of Karbala enjoys, the event is persistently portrayed as two-sided. It is always depicted as Husayn against Yazid, Right rising up against Wrong, the Quest for Justice against the Forces of Oppression. Reply One We have proven that Yazeed opposed the concept of revelation and denied the Prophethood.

To raise one's voice against such an enemy of God is certainly proof that Imam Husayn (as) was on the party of truth and was seeking to counter Yazeed's falsehood. Shah Abdul Aziz Dehlavi, a staunch Wahabi, in Taufa Ithna Ashari, Chapter 1 page 6 stated clearly that: "Imam Husayn was aware of the falsehood of Yazeed the Paleeth (impure)" If opposition to such a transgressor is not Jihad then what is?

How can these same Nasibi define the Banu Umayyad campaigns of conquests, pillaging / looting etc, to satiate Muslim greed and maintain a life of luxury as Jihad? If Jihad is defined as fighting the kuffar then Yazeed and his ancestors were kaafir, his father may have sought to cloak his hypocrisy but Yazeed openly declared his kaafir beliefs, and al Istiab also gives clear proof over the hypocrisy of Abu Sufyan.
