After being astonished by that blog I want to make an additional comment.
Deobandis of all people should know that reforming Islamic society is distinct from defending Islam from external attacks. There are plenty of guidelines in the Qur'an, Sunnah, and works of the 'ulema of every age regarding how to deal with fellow Muslims. This blog violates all of them. Attacking Muslims
with polemics
(characterized by not giving the other a chance to engage in discussion) in a public arena dominated by non-Muslims is not how you do it. Those kinds of polemics are self-serving and self-aggrandizing with no other point than boosting one's ego. And that's the most optimistic interpretation of them.
My advice to everyone here is to not use the internet to
personally
attack other Muslims (if you feel you want to attack doctrines of other groups of Muslims consult your shaykh/ustadh for advice on how best to do it). You can use the internet as a personal communications tool or as a public arena of published ideas (like newspapers, books, etc). Keep your interactions with Muslims (debates, arguments, etc) in the first context. The latter should be reserved for dawah. Feel free to use the tactics of the kuffar against the kuffar but don't turn them on other Muslims.
