The calling of Shi'a رفض "Rafidh" lies of Ibn Taymiyyah!

In the book of the Chief of Anthropomorphism and Karramiyyah lover Ibn Taymiyyah;
[Minhaj us Sunna vol#1,pg 35]He makes a claim that the term "رفض"was used towards identifying Shi'a. And originated from Imam Zaynal Abideen(AS) .We reject the order of Caliphate because Allah(Swt)has "devinely appointed"the "Mawla" of Muslims to be Ali(AS)and the Prophet(SAAW) so-repeatedly warned about Ali being his Wali and the 12 Imams from Quraysh after Him!In fact, this term is a complement rather than an insult!The term rafidha was used years before Zayin-al-abideen(AS)!
1)The Ahul Basrah(those whom rejected Ali(AS) but later embraced Mu'tazil/Murj' doctrines!)were called "Rafidh"

2) Abdul Malik Bin Marwan asked Al-Farazdaq  Are you a Rafidhi? 
Al-Farazdaq replied him: If loving The Progeny of the Prophet(SAW) is Rafdh, I am a Rafidhi. ( Amaali al-Murtadha, V. 1, P. 68)

3)It is also stated in the book Bihaar al-Anwaar , vol 65, page 97 were as Imam Muhammad Al-Baqir(AS): A person called us with a name. Imam asked him: What is the name? He replied: He called us Rafidhah. Imam al-Baqir pointed to him chest and said: "I am also from the Rafidhah and Rafidhah are from me!"

So if this is the case it is true...we are rafidha. Problem is Sunni fanatics often neglect "Arabic and morphology "knowledge because their scholars keep it locked away from them by leaving the commentaries in Arabic and translating it to Urdu ......but never English!So words are often misunderstood!
