Never get into arguments with her, and don't even try to make her understand. Or to teach her or preach her. The obligation of the laymen (like you and me) when they are confronted by salafis is to direct them to the Ulema, give any scholar's contact details, maybe direct her to Darul madania or one more (new, I don't remember the name) darul uloom based in toronto (again founded by Shaykh Islmail memon db) or anyone close to where she is located, it is Allah SWT who guides, not we, so your responsibility ends by giving daawah. If you get into arguments, it'll only end up creating more animosity, and if one doesn't accept the truth even when its presented to them, then its we who'll end up feeling bad, and never ever say anything against the Ulema she follows, nor listen to what she says, humbly advice her that if she has problems with deoband and their teachings, ask her to she get an explanation from their side if she truly cares. Leave her at that. Give sadaqah and make dua to Allah SWT for guidance. Huqq will always have an upper hand over batil, and batil will subside sooner or later. Post 9/11 the west did everything to malign Islam and continues to do so, has it succeeded?
