10 Questions

Is every individual who admires Muawiya considered a Nasibi? Are all Nasibis related to the Bani Umayyah clan?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Mu'awiya ibn Abi Sufyan spent most of his life with his father as a staunch enemy of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) till the victory of the Proohet over the Mushriks of Makkah when Mushriks had no choice but to surrender to the Prophet. Mu'awiya was an open enemy of Imam Ali (AS) and he was cursing him on the pulpits. He killed Imam Hasan (AS) by poison and killed Amar ibn Yasir in Siffeen battle with many other pious companions of the Prophet (SAWA). Sunni books narrated a prophetic Hadeeth that Mu'awiya will die as non Muslim ( Ju'nat Al-Attar by Al-Ghimaari 2; 145 and Majma' Al-Zawaa'id 5;243, and Shaikh Al-Madheera by Shaikh Abu Rayyah  185.

Those who love Mu'awiya are either unaware of his crimes because they were been misinformed. They need to read more to know what the Prophet (SAWA) said about Mu'awiya and what did Mu'awiya commit. Those who know what the Prophet said and what Mu'awiya has committed should never respect him because he was against Imam Ali (AS) which means that he was against the Prophet (SAWA) and against Allah (SWT). 

We don't call Nasibi but to the person who openly goes against Ahlul Bayt (AS).

Is there a one-year gap between Muawiya's death and the event of Karbala, or did Imam Husain leave Madina within 6-7 days of Yazeed's rule since both events took place in 680 AD?
Amina Inloes

Based on historical sources, there is about a 6-month gap between when Yazid took power, and when Imam Husayn (A) left Mecca. There was also some time gap between when Mu'awiyah died and the news reached Medina (I don't know how long it took for messages to travel then). 

Here is a timeline based on what is related:

Rajab 680 - Mu'awiyah dies
28 Rajab 680 - Imam Husayn (A) leaves Medina
3 Sha'ban 680 - Imam Husayn (A) enters Mecca
Dhu al-Hijjah - Imam Husayn (A) leaves Mecca for Iraq

 
Why should we support the Palestinians when the majority of them love the enemies of the Ahlulbayt (a) such as Muawiya. Why should we support such people?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

We must support the oppressed wherever they are. Palestinians have been severely oppressed for over 70 years by Zionist terrorist gangs and regime and their children and women are massacred by the enemies of Islam and humanity. We must support them in every possible way as human beings if we respect our human values beside our faith. Our enemy is trying to mislead some people by creating doubts about supporting Palestinians under different excuses. Our greatest Islamic scholars who are the Maraaje' of Taqleed have clearly supported Palestinians and we must follow them and never listen to the misleading propaganda against Palestinians especially when their enemy is our enemy who occupied and still occupying Masjid Al-Aqsa and the whole Palestinian land which is a Muslim land and killed thousands of children, women and civilians and still killing more.

What were the conditions and reasons for Imam Hassan (as) to make a compromise and agreement with Muawiya?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Imam Hasan (AS) faced an enemy ( Mo'awiyah) who had control over the richest country at that time ( Shaam) , who was ready to do everything with no limits  to get the chair. Mo'awiyah was ready to kill all the believers and deny religious facts just to reach to his political goal. Imam Hasan found no way to save Islam and the sincere Muslims but to enter in a treaty with Mu'awiyah under clear conditions to give him the chair and bind him to respect Quran and Sunnah and refrain from killing sincere Muslims. Islam was saved because of that treaty of Imam Hasan (AS).

Wassalam.
