why is there a double standard in Sunni Belief? - Part 1

The sunnis believe that the sahaba are a measuring stick between truth and falsehood, whoever disagrees with even one of the sahaba then he is an evil doer, apostate, and an infidel with the exception of Imam Ali .

If a person disagrees with Imam Ali then they don't accuse that person of evil doing, apostatizing and infidelity, rather they say he/she endeavored in interpreting the law but made a mistake. But if a person disagreed with Uthman for example then that person is considered an evil doer, apostate and infidel. Proof of this double standard and hypocrisy is found in the sunni stance towards those who surrounded uthman and caused his death and their position towards those who fought and caused the death of Imam Ali .

Whomever fought uthman and surrounded him until his death; the sunnis tell us they were unbelievers, evil doers, apostates because they disobeyed the khalifa of the Muslims and caused a civil unrest (Fitnah) among the Muslims. But those who fought Ali and caused his death such as Aisha, Talha, Zubair, Mu'awiyah, ibn Muljam; the sunnis tell us they endeavored in interpreting the law but were mistaken (Ijtahadu Wa Akhta'uu).

This is the situation with them. If you disagree with and go against Ali then no problem, but you must agree with all of the sahaba and believe in their merit and high status. That is all of the sahaba are just.
