many of shia nowadays have stopped abusing sahabas - only jaahil and extreme shias do cursing i have many friends and in my village there are many shias who dont curse sahabas - but my question is since you all dont hate yazeed and dont consider him kaafir , ( who was responsible for killing of Imam Hussain (R) and attacking Madina and kiling countless sahabas ) then what will you get in spreading hatred against shias and calling them kaafir - and in mosques preach hatred about them so that killing between shia and sunni arise ?

i am in no way a supporter of shias , but its about time we resolve our differences and finish this hatred - both sides arent ready for unity

Our problem with shiites isn't only that they, as a group, have historically been traitorous and murderous (what seems to be your basis for hating Yazeed). The more important issues are doctrinal. From believing the imams to be greater than the anbiya, to believing the quran is distorted, to attributing things to the quran which aren't there (like the belief in imamah)...this is what makes them kafir. So you see, we can never "resolve" our differences with them. The gulf is virtually unbridgeable.

Besides, I have never seen any sunni masajid where they regularly preach hatred of the shiites. And if they are mentioned, it's not to preach hatred, but to inform the people about them and their beliefs. The hatred is not for the person, but his kufr and his cursing the sahaba, as well as any injury he may cause the Muslims.

That said, yes, most shiite laypeople (at least where I live) don't really know what their beliefs are, and don't make a point of cursing sahaba. They are just shiite in name, you could say. Most are secular and/or non-practicing.
