Taken from the same website explaining why it was launched: http://maududiexamined.wordpress.com/about/

His works:

Maududi wrote over 120 books and pamphlets in urdu some of which were translated to other languages also, including English.

His writings caused much controversy, mainly his books ‘khilafat wa Mulukiyath’, ‘Quran ki chaar buniyadi istelahein’, ‘Tajdeed o ihya e deen’,etc. and his commentary on the Quran ‘Tafheem ul Quran’ . Many prominent Ulema of all Muslim schools of thoughts wrote rebuttals and critiques on his errors and deviations but, unfortunately, he and his party did not heed the advices and continue to publicise these controversial books and pamphlets even today, some with slight editing. These are also spread online in English and Urdu, and so a need was felt for refuting them online with English content based on the Ulema’s original works.

There is a brief review of Maududi’s life and works, by the late Muhaddith of Pakistan: Shaykh Muhammad Yusuf Banuri, ['The Maududi Calamity'] in the following words :

“I admired many things about Maududi Saheb and detested many. For a long time I did not wish to degrade him. I felt that from his innovated style of presentation the modern generation could benefit. Although at times such compositions appeared from him that it was not possible to endure it, but taking into consideration the Deeni (religious) well being, I tolerated and kept silent. I did not foresee that this fitnah (mischief) would spread worldwide and have a detrimental effect on the Arab world; that every day from his master pen new buds would keep on blossoming, and indecent words would be used regarding the Sahabah kiraam Ridhwanullahi Alayhim and the Anbiyya (Prophets) Alayhimus Salaam. Later on, such things appeared commonly in the Tafhimul Quraan.
Now it has become known without doubt that his writings and publications are the greatest fitnah of the present time, notwithstanding a few beneficial treatises that have appeared. It is the case of, ‘and the sin of them is greater than their usefulness.’[Surah al-Baqara: 219] Now that stage has been reached where to keep silent seems to be a great crime. It is regretted that for forty years an offensive silence was kept. Now the time has dawned, where without fear of rebuttal and censure all his writings from A to Z should be thoroughly studied with a view to fulfill the demands for the preservation of the Deen with Haqq (truth) and justice.”

May Allah accept this small effort and protect the Ummah from misguidance. Aameen.
There is nothing new in that. Almost every student of Islam knows that what errors are there in Khilaafat wa malookiat. Those who know avoid it and those who don't know will not know it through that blog as well. The mischief did not spread at all. All of such views were Maulana Maududi ra's personal views and the Jamaat remained unaffected. "Refutations" like these serve no other purpose than insinuating an old grudge based on personal likes and dislikes.
