Please try to remember this yourself. The topic IS whether Islam is true or not. The following arguments have no bearing on its truth.
1. Islam is the largest/fastest growing religion - This is a logical fallacy called appeal to popularity. Just because a lot of people believe in it does not make something true.
2. Videos of converts - Yes, we realize that those who converted think Islam is true - they would not have converted otherwise. But their thinking so has no bearing on its actual truth.
3. Quran was "beautifully written" - Shakespeare is beautifully written - that does not make those stories true either.
4. Mohammad was honest - This is circular argument. The only way Mohammad can be shown to be an honest man is if the quran is true. What other sources of studying him do you have that show that he was completely honest?
