Salaam Zakir. Even though I haven't commented in this thread until now, I've been reading the posts in this thread, and checking out your links and videos. I wanted to see how you debate by yourself. But, apparently, I think that there are some important things that you should try to keep in your mind when discussing religion in this forum. That being said, I hope that you don't feel too much of a grievance about the advice that I'm going to give you right now.
Firstly, there were one or two posts that you made in which you copy-and-pasted a long text from an Islamic website. However, according to the rules, you should avoid doing that and instead provide a link and/or put them in your own words, or you can quote something short, but not too long. Otherwise, it seems as if you are preaching. Secondly, you will have to expect reading insults about Islam because this is an atheist forum and there are many things about religion that atheists and others will find to be repulsive or just plain silly/nonsense/bullshit, but do not get angry or upset by such comments. Take your time to reply and answer everything honestly. Also, recognize that what you think is "evidence" may not be evidence to someone else. In my opinion, for example, hadiths and eyewitness accounts of the moon splitting in two are not considered to be evidence that such a thing actually happened. If you use them to support that belief, then most likely you will be laughed at as if you're in a circus.
Also, you would be wrong if you think or expect that atheists will convert to Islam after reading your arguments. Why? Because they don't believe in God in the first place, and these are arguments which a lot of them have already seen or heard before. I myself have discussed these things in the past in other threads. I'll post the links so that you can read some of them and learn how to debate, at least.
Atheism vs. the Quran
Was Muhammad a Pedophile?
Ten Lies About Islam
An Inconvenient Question(s)
Convert me if you can
Islamic Scholar Doubts Mohammad Existed
The Muslim Jesus was a Failed Prophet
... and more.
I do not really wish to get myself involved in this thread because I already know what type of replies that I'm going to get in response to my arguments (since I had these discussions before as you can see in the links above). But, if I do want to comment on something, or if I find something more interesting to share with others, then I might post it here.
Just try to be as open-minded, rational, and honest as you can. And don't get too frustrated by insults.
On the other hand, if you break any of the rules a few more times, Zakir, then there is a likelihood that you will be banned. So, just keep your heads up for that.
