May Allah reward you for your sincerity.
I still do hope I will get an answer to my questions and that you won't avoid them.
I really want to know
why the scholars you are linking to are turning this issue into something that is causing separation amongst the Muslims? What do they exactly mean when they are saying it's permissible? They have already quoted numerous quotations in their Fatwa that shows that they hold it permissible to seek aid from other than Allaah, how can you be sure that
their intended meaning is not the same for 'Ya Muhammad'?!
If it is the same meaning, then this no longer remains an issue where there is difference amongst the scholars.

I don't agree with asking people at their graves and stuff, I just disagree with the fact that proclaiming Ya RasoolAllaah is wrong.

Then please explain to me why one of the links you've linked to is promoting exactly that (seeking aid from graves)? And on top of that, why are you taking your religion from them after knowing this?! These people do not realize how similar what they are calling to is to the belief of the Catholics! I really do hope that you do not believe as true the likes of what I've quoted in my previous post.
Regarding this, as it is a matter of Tawheed and Shirk, scholars cannot have different views. How can one thing be from shirk to one person, and then be from Tawheed to another?! And then we label those who consider it shirk as 'extreme'?

I don't think it can. Only the most 'extreme' people take it to Shirk.

This isn't something (simply saying 'Ya Muhammad' )that is black and white. It isn't always shirk, and sometimes it is shirk. Please re-read what I quoted from Yasir Qadhi, and he explains when it comes under shirk and when it doesn't.
It is very important that we become very clear on these matters because a certain slip can make us fall unknowingly into shirk. And shirk is a very great danger, so much so, that Ibrahim has made Dua' to Allaah to protect him from it. Allaah's saying: "And (remember) when Ibrahim (Abraham) said: "O my Lord! Make this city (Makkah) one of peace and security,
and keep me and my sons away from worshipping idols." and the Dua' that Abu Bakr used to make: "‘O Allaah, I take refuge in You lest I should commit shirk with You knowingly and I seek Your forgiveness for what I do unknowingly.’"
When the Khaleel of Allaah was making Dua' to be protected from shirk, and the best man after the Prophets was making the same Dua', how then can we not fear falling into it? How then can some people turn this issue into such a trivial one?
هَلْ جَزَاء الْإِحْسَانِ إِلَّا الْإِحْسَانُ؟
Is there any reward for good other than good?
