Sometimes I use shocking or radical words to shake up the religious ideas of people. There are for example some people who say "Allah does not look into toilets" or at private parts. Out of some strange fear of offending Allah who is not a human being at all, they end up saying blasphemous things and spreading false and ridiculous notions, so in response to that I might say something which is meant to shake up such beliefs and may sound blasphemous to people who are not refined in their ideas regarding Allah, for example that "Allah is fully aware of what goes on in toilets, moreover, all information is known to Allah as is, so Allah is not ignorant of what it feels like to be a human defecating, that experience of "so and so defecating" in every detail is known to Allah, it is wrong to say "I know what Allah does not know, I am aware of what it feels like to defecate and am the only one with this knowledge and experience as is, whereas Allah has different knowledge and I have this private secret knowledge which Allah does not fully have so that Allah is partially ignorant where I know something Allah does not know", Allah is fully aware of the experience in every detail, knows it "as is" which is how Allah created it as well, Allah is not "looking on from the outside, looking at objects moving, looking down from the sky" but is creator of experiences, and is viewing the experiences "as is" that means, from the inside, in all the ways we experience them because that is the information that Allah has created, viewing it from the outside would be other information, not the same information as viewing it from the inside "Encompasses all vision, while not being encompassed by any vision".
So to say "Allah is to blame" is the same as saying "All credit for everything which occurs, good or bad, goes to Allah alone" or as the Qur'an says it "All is from Allah, the good from Allah (is from Allah), the evil from yourselves (is from Allah)" "All is from Allah".
So Iblis was not wrong in his saying "you have sent me astray" because Allah indeed is responsible for everything which occurs in every detail. Iblis is also not lying or wrong when he later says "I had no power over you", it is not that Iblis is constantly lying and all his statements are false and to be denied, if even a villain says the truth, the truth remains the truth. For example, if a rapist, murderer, pedophile, says that 1+1=2, that doesn't make the statement false just because they are a rapist, murderer, pedophile.
So the use of the word "blame" sends a disturbing chill into some people, for fear that they are saying something wrong or blasphemous which may offend Allah. Again, if something terrible happens to me and I end up with a horrible stroke like the famous preacher who had a stroke, would that mean that it is a punishment from Allah for saying that Allah alone is the power and the chooser and the doer who is responsible for everything absolutely? Would that mean that saying that is to be avoided because a stroke was brought about by Allah? Would that mean that another is responsible, there are other powers besides Allah, that Allah looks to chance for answers and how to respond and is not the creator of all information and experience? See, these are the fallacies and erroneous thoughts given to humans which I would like to work to dispel in order than people refine their religion in the utmost ways and become the strongest adherents of Islam and devotees of the One and Only.
Sometimes I use radical seeming statements like "The first part of the Islamic creed is Atheism" and then work to demonstrate what I mean in detail and how I mean it particularly. I try to never say anything wrong. I had this conversation with my mother recently as well since she was disturbed by the use of the word "blame" too but then when it was explained she hopefully understood.
We blame Allah and doing so can be a good thing too, and Allah is free of needs, not petty, and is not offended by the truth as far as I'm aware. To blame Allah can mean to turn your mind to Allah when misfortune occurs, to acknowledge who is ultimately responsible for everything which occurs, the good and the evil, the misfortune or the fortune. Please check out my recent post here as well which quotes from the Qur'an:

People are also frightened by stating that All Evil is from Allah and Allah is the Lord of Evil. Again this are radical seeming statements meant to shake up the false notions people have attached to where they inadvertently make partners with Allah and perform shirk saying that Satan or others are actually the creators of Evil or that not everything is from Allah but that some things are not from Allah or that Allah only created some things or some experiences and other experiences are created by something else or have another source, thus making partners with Allah even without realizing it.
To know that Allah is the source and cause of Evil, the purveyor of evil, who brings about all evil, human evil (murders, rapes), natural evils (human evils are natural too, but people make a distinction, so diseases, disasters), and technologies and technological evils (poisons, chemicals, missiles, mines, bombs, "accidents"), is to appropriately appraise Allah and earnestly increase the reasons to fear Allah, and the one who fears Allah most is called in the Qur'an the noblest. I try to be that one, and also spread the fear and horror of Allah which is a basic notion spread throughout the Qur'an though people tend to blank out and seem to ignore it in favor of the more Christian popular idea of "love and bunny rabbits".
Life and Reality does not reflect that at all, but is a demonstration of pure power, and is full of evil that people are helpless to stop, there is decay, apparent error, dispute, war, slaughter, pain, suffering, cruelty, malice, horrors upon horrors, not created by Satan or any of the Satans of humankind or jinn who have no creative power whatsoever, but by Allah, the master of Horror, the Lord of War and Violence, the Diseaser, the Forcer, the Torturer, the Tormentor. No rape or murder and act of violence or bloodshed occurs save by Allah's will and power alone. Yes it is horrible, and that can be the point as well, that had we the power we might have been able to stop the trouble, but Allah has the power, and proves that He alone can do anything and is unstoppable and worthy of all fear.
He can create the experience of you walking around having a wonderful day, and suddenly you go entirely mad and imagine there is a staircase when there is no staircase, or a gang of rapists seem to come over and out of nowhere abduct you and rape you, of no fault of your own. Allah can bring about Terror in an instant, and so when the kaffirs say in their ignorance "It is a religion of Terror! A Cult of Death" they aren't even necessarily wrong, or can be made right, except that they don't appear to mean it in the right way or even know what they are being made to say, again being made to say by Allah's will, who gives them their words, even the false ones, and their notions, even the false ones, who leads them further and further astray, while guiding others, freely and from the beginning, and no credit goes to anyone except Allah or "blame" except that Allah chose it for them to be wealthy or poor, drug addicts or doctors or both, writing all the stories and experiences in existence and bringing them about however they are and experiencing them as they are as well, aware fully of all the information, not just some of it while others have different private information.
This is the terrible power of Allah, and there is no force available to combat or fight or stop Allah, Allah who can do anything, who can create evil for any reason or no reason, and needs no reason, has no needs, is completely free to do anything and is unstoppable. It is Allah who is to be feared with the utmost fear, every nightmare is from Allah, every horror, every delusion. Allah can make us do anything, we are empty, slaves, controlled, and we beg on the floor and in tears that Allah saves us and protects us and does not harm us, as Allah can freely harm us and there is no Judge above Allah who can stop Allah or condemn Allah for anything that Allah does or creates or brings about.
Yet, Allah has given us respite, and mercies, and pleasures too, and is the Lord of Sex, Lord of Desire, Lord of Pleasure, Lord of Food, Lord of Everything. It is Allah who controls our chemicals, our sensations, our pleasures, our joy, our moods:
53:43
and that it is He alone who causes [you] to laugh and to weep;
This is my religion, and I am bold in it, and if I will be blamed for it or accused of blasphemy for praising Allah as the sole and supreme power, then so be it, it is Allah's will if such occurs, and it is Allah who sets up enemies against people (haha I don't believe you're an enemy, in fact, I'm hoping this speech has inspired you and made you more like me and helped to further refine your beliefs and make you a more fierce devotee of Allah, however you interpret this speech and if it makes you feel good or makes you feel bad, is from Allah too, how you react to it is from Allah too, and how you interpret it, and every thought you get from it. It is Allah who is communicating with you constantly through everyone and everything every moment, it is Allah who makes you see and hear and experience whatever you experience, it is Allah alone speaking to you, Allah alone who makes you aware or unaware, Allah is present right before you, it is Allah looking through your eyes even, seeing what you see, knowing what you know, telling you everything, making you believe or disbelieve in whatever you believe or disbelieve in and can change it just lie Allah can change a staff into a snake and a snake into a staff or bring about anything or make an idol speak or do even stranger things like out of nowhere and based on nothing inventing that "there is a "nose" and it breathes "air" and it is on a "face" which is on a "head" and all sorts of things which are entirely creative and absurd if you realize that it comes from nowhere and has no basis whatsoever, is entirely made up.
Similarly, I say other radical seeming things, like that Allah utters Lies. What I mean by this is that, Allah creates the Truth, makes up things which had no prior existence. We are told to speak the truth which generally means to say things which reflect the reality, but there was no reality before Allah, Allah uttered things that did not exist and brought them about, turning the Lies into the truth, but Allah alone is the Ultimate Truth. This is also the nature of Change, that it is not false to say you are 12 years old, but it was once true to say it apparently. It was true to say There is a snake, when there was a staff, but Allah uttered it, "Be" and it is.
There was nothing or none of this, then Allah uttered things that do not exist and were untrue, and made them true. The magnificent power of Allah. I use these words that people are frightened of to shake up their beliefs, and then strengthen them thereby.
People also fear the words "anger" "envy" "greed" but they can be turned towards good also and channeled rightly as well. We should be angry at evil and disease and trouble and fight against it vehemently and fiercely with energy. We should be envious of the good people and thus pursue becoming even better than them! We should be greedy for what is best, and not greedy for what is worst!
People say "do not fear" "there is nothing to fear" or "fear is bad and cowardly", and I say Be Afraid, be Very Afraid, for anyone who is not a coward before Allah is a fool, and we are all fools before Allah who has us all fooled. "Will they shed blood?" "Know, you know not".
