With regret, their is now a preponderance of self-proclaimed Sunni 'scholars' who possess certain views which mirror those of the Kharijites. For example, the reluctance to mention the Ahlul Ba'yt in a favorable context; failing to display due deference to the same; or a blanket suppression of the name of Hazrat Ali Ibn Abi Talib (AS), are indicative characteristics of Kharijites and seemingly now in 'our' Sunni 'scholars'.

Salaam,

It's a shame that what you say seems to be true. However, we should remember that even in the early days of Islam, those responsible for sowing the seeds of enemity towards Ahlul Bayt (a.s) held good Aqaid, they performed all the duties of a good Muslim. Yet despite all this, Sayyiddina Ali (k.w) was cursed for 70 years on the pulpits upon the orders of those who claimed to be of Ahlus Sunnah. For years efforts were made to propogate hatred towards those whom the Messenger of Allah (saaw) called his own. Amongst the masses of those days, the names of those truly loved the progeny of the Messenger (saaw) and served them and helped them, lives on till this day, and inshallah until the day of Judgment. The four Imams who studied under the Ahlul Bayt are many times made mention of and those who sought to spread hatred, ultimately failed in thier plans and thier off spring shall follow suit.
