How do you debate a Muslim? No, how do you debate theists in general. That is how you need to look at it, because all of them postulate a non material pet deity.
But some of the arguments you can use.
"Circular reasoning"=using your holy book to prove your holy book. They all do that.
"Argument from popularity/tradition". They all do that too. If popularity or tradition made something true then the sun is a god because the Egyptians believed it for 3,000 years.
"Science says=holy book quote here". Again they all do that.
The more important question than "what" they believe is "why" they believe it. The real reason they believe is because it is a comforting placebo and it "feels right".
And remember just because one person wont debate you, doesn't mean others wont.
