If you hate & love in the pleasure of Allah(swt), based on evidence not emotion only, then that is deen and there is no compromise. All hate and love should be for the pleasure of Allah(swt). If the Shia hate someting or someone for personal reasons then compromise is a personal matter of choice. Love of the companions is not wajib has nothing to do with imaan, but love of Ahlulbayt (as) is wajib ( Quran 42:23). Ask the Shia why they do not like some, is it personal or based on evidence.

Wait wait wait, how come Sunnis and Shiites can be brothers when Sunnis really love Omar, Aisha, and Abu Bakar. While Shiites really hate Omar, Aisha, and Abu Bakar.

@AnasAlex10 Hi, no one is responsible for anothers sins, so to blame Shias for the mistakes of say their alims or Sunni's for the mistakes of some companions is not fair. Secondly I may not like the company my brother keeps but do I hate my brother? Thirdly, a convert/reverts parents may hate the prophet (s) yet still the revert is ordered to love them for their being his parent. Imam Ali(as) advised: that if he is not your brother in faith he is your brother in humanity' Letter 53 Nahjulbalagha

@AnasAlex10 Sunni's our are brothers in faith and part of us not just humanity. The Al Azhar formula of accepting Shia's as the fifth school of Islam is the right way as it allows all to express their faith and gives all a right of reply/explanation (a fundemental of justice) Sunni's and Shias live side by side in many areas of the world and there is no problem.
