According to rahyafte (the missionaries and converts website):It is not necessary to be a Shia to be a lover or admirer of Imam Hussain. Nor to be a Muslim to acknowledge the infallibility, greatness, and valour of the grandson of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), who stood fast against tyranny and barbarism never seen in human history.
