I have never heard of a scholar, praising Yazid Ibn Muawiyah and I agree with the earlier brothers post in that this thread is futile.

Ibn Al Jawzi in "Al rad 3ala al-muta3asib al 3anid al Mani3 min dhammi Yazid" asserts that the ulalma have deemed it permissible to curse him. Other scholars however have said it is preferable not to curse directly but leave it general due to certain reasons.

In saying that, while there is no doubt of the atrocities that occurred during Yazids rule, this does not mean that we make our religion revolve around this particular incident and try to politicise it and create fanatics for some political gain.

Its sad to see that you speak to some shias these days and they don't know the difference between an Ayah/Surah and on the other hand they can talk to you for hours on how Bukhari sharif is not authentic, misinterpret certain hadiths and so on, really frustrating when you actually read all that nonsense. This however is not to say that the general Sunni Muslim is perfect, negatives can be listed for both sides.
