		[edit] Battle of Karbala Yazid was first opposed by the grandson of Muhammad, Husayn bin Ali, the son of the assassinated former caliph Ali ibn Abi Talib.

	Yazid I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Yazid was first opposed by the grandson of Muhammad, Husayn bin Ali, the son of the assassinated former caliph Ali ibn Abi Talib.
		Some Sunni authorities have claimed that Husayn opposed Yazid's ascension to the Caliphate but did not actively revolt against him, and that Husayn's killing was ordered not by Yazid but by the Umayyad governor of Iraq Ubaidallah ibn Ziyad.
		Historians who judge Yazid as an administrator rather than a religious figure take a kinder view of the man. Yazid energetically tried to continue his father's policies and retained many of the men who served him.

	Muawiyah I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mu'awiyah is mostly remembered for his career in Syria, which began shortly after the death of the Prophet, when he, along with his brother Yazid, served in the tribal armies sent from Arabia against the Byzantine forces in Syria.
		Upon the death of Yazid in 640, Mu'awiyah was appointed governor of Syria by the caliph 'Umar and gradually gained mastery over the other areas of Syria, instilling remarkable personal loyalty among the prelates, troops and common people of the region.
		By 647 Mu'awiyah had built a Syrian tribal army strong enough to repel a Byzantine attack and, in subsequent years, to take the offensive against the Byzantines in campaigns that resulted in the capture of Cyprus (649) and Rhodes (654) and a devastating defeat of the Byzantine navy off the coast of Lycia (655).

	The Martyrdom of Imam Hussain
		Yazid was at that time the despotic ruler of the Muslim world, who came to power as the self-proclaimed “sixth caliph of Islam” after the death of his father, Mu’awiya.
		Yazid had been successful in winning over the allegiance of the great majority of Muslims, and the rest of the Muslim world was in a state of moral slumber.
		Yazid, and indeed all future despots, were put on notice that they would not be tolerated, and that truth and justice would be upheld and would ultimately succeed, regardless of the costs.

		Yazid Sufaat, a U.S.-trained biochemist and former Malaysian army captain, was arrested in late 2001 as he returned home from Afghanistan, where officials say he was working on a biological and chemical weapons program for al-Qaeda that was ended by the U.S.-led war.
		Security officials have told AP that Yazid described the chemical and biological weapons program he and Hambali were building for al-Qaeda as being in the "conceptual stages" when their plans were interrupted by the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in the United States.
		Yazid is accused of allowing Hambali and other top al-Qaeda operatives — including two eventual Sept. 11 hijackers — to use an apartment he owned for meetings in Malaysia in January 2000.

		Yazid has told Malaysian authorities the program was in its "conceptual stages" when it was abandoned when the U.S.-led attack on the Taliban started in October 2001, an official said.

		Yazid was afraid that if the Imam continued his speech, there would be a revolution and revolt.
		Yazid had to free the Imam(a.s.) out of fear of his own rulership, therefore, Imam(a.s.) was still not completely safe from his evil designs even upon reaching back to Madina.

		Under the threat of bayonets, the caliphate of Islam was transferred to Yazid, son of Mu'awiyah, who was not fit for that high position or, for that matter, he did not deserve even the smallest post in an Islamic government.
		Yazid's men showed their basest wickedness and malice inasmuch as they banned the Imam and his companions from access to water of the nearby Euphrates River, did not allow them to say their prayers and killed even an infant son of Hussain.

		Yazid called himself the successor of Muhammad (SA) but this was a lie.
		When `Yazid became ruler of the Muslims he immediately demanded al-'Imam al-Husayn (AS) to recognize him as the ruler and accept his leadership; but al-'lmam al-Husayn (AS) was the true successor of Prophet Muhammad (SA) and could not accept and endorse the leadership of an oppressor.
		The Imam (AS) told them: "Never will I accept disgrace and surrender to Yazid Death for me is superior to disgrace and I am ready to defend Islam and the Muslims until lam martyred." At a place called Karbala' al-'Imam al-Husayn (AS), his family and helpers were surrounded by Yazid's troops.

		But Yazid, the tyrant ruler over the Ummah, was adamant in his demand, and tension between the two parties increased day by day.
		Since Yazid had ordered his commanders to seize the Imam's allegiance of loyalty at any cost, even by brutal force, the commanders had to assemble a relatively large army, surrounding Imam Hussain's camp in a desert called Karbala.
		His goal was to foil the plan that Mu'awiya had expertly developed for his son, Yazid, which was to establish a permanent Benu Umayya ruler ship over the Muslim Ummah (even by sacrificing the Islamic principles), but doing it in the name of Islam.

		He never came to Kufa, but was trapped in the desert at Karbala by the soldiers of the new Caliph Yazid, son of Mu'awiya.
		As the main tenet of the Shi'i is the illegitimacy of the Caliphate after Ali, over the next few centuries the Shi'i cause drew many supporters from among the disaffected in the Caliphate, frequently among those not of Arab origin, who were considered second class citizens.
