Bismillah,
Salam 'alaikum.
I was writing an article about the great Shafi'i jurist Fakhr Al-Din Al-Razi (Persian Shafi'i scholar from Rayy/Tehran, of Bakri i.e. Abu Bakr descent). You know the Rafidis when in Taqiyyah mode claim that he was a "true" Sunni scholar (I guess this is because they copy and paste from his Tafsir and pro-Ahl Al-Bayt statements what is in accordance with their whims). Of course this is nonsense, he was known for his extreme Anti-Shia stance and actually cursed the Rafidah (by calling them Rafidah) in his very Tafsir. Anyway, while doing some research on the net I've stumbled upon on of the dumbest (yet most famous) Rafidi websites named:

Now I didn't give a 12th Imam if Fakhr Al-Din said that or not, as unlike Rawafid we Muslims, Sunnis do not worship men (let alone buried and tombed ones). It's the false perception they have, they think adding an Imam or great to a Sunni scholar will turn the Sunni into a blind following sheep (like the Rafidi Muqallid). Yes, no doubt Al-Razi is an authority, however he is an human who can err, if his evidence is weak, then it will be smashed against the wall, same with the speech of Al-Sadiq, Al-Baqir, Al-Faruq Omar, Al-Siddiq Abu Bakr, etc. none of them are infallible, none, except the final Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family). Anyway, I wanted to actually check if what the Rafidi website claims (which they probably copied from Persian Rafidi websites) is actually true or not, and this is what I found (alhamdulillah, it is the very internet that is breaking the spine of the Rafidah):

ثم قال تعالى : ( إنما يريد الله ليذهب عنكم الرجس أهل البيت ويطهركم تطهيرا ) .
ثم إن الله تعالى ترك خطاب المؤنثات وخاطب بخطاب المذكرين بقوله : ( ليذهب عنكم الرجس ) ليدخل فيه نساء أهل بيته ورجالهم ، واختلفت الأقوال في أهل البيت . والأولى أن يقال : هم أولاده وأزواجه والحسن والحسين منهم وعلي منهم لأنه كان من أهل بيته بسبب معاشرته ببنت النبي عليه السلام ..
Then He (Allah) says:
[And abide in your houses and do not display yourselves as [was] the display of the former times of ignorance. And establish prayer and give zakah and obey Allah and His Messenger.] Allah intends only to remove from you the impurity [of sin], O people of the [Prophet's] household, and to purify you with [extensive] purification.(My Ebn Hussein's comment: The hypocrite Rafidah fool themselves and their followers when they call 33:33 "Ayah Al-Tathir", yet they always omit more than half of the verse, quoting only the last bit out of context!)[...]thereon, Allah the Most High stopped addressing the wives only and INCLUDED the males of the Ahl Al-Bayt ('ANKUM AR-RIJS) so that the WOMEN and men of the Ahl Al-Bayt were both included and there have been differences of opinion about who are meant with Ahl Al-Bayt. The most correct statement is:
They (his Ahl Al-Bayt) are his children and WIVES, and Al-Hassan and Al-Hussein are from them (his children) and Ali is from them, because he (Ali) is from his Ahl Al-Bayt due to him having lived (in the house) of the Prophet [...]
