I'd say that... to meet all those criteria... you would do well with paulpablo.

If it wasn't for that requirement of being "well informed about Sunni Islam", I could do it... or Esquilax. But, to me, Sunni or any other islam is just islam... it's all the same thing. Don't feel offended, I do the same for christians, couldn't care less if they're catholic, pentecostal, church of England, or whatever... all christians. The same for hindus. And then I even go a step forward and say all theists are the same deluded people.
So, to me, it's the same whether you're muslim, christian, or druid...

If you want to argue some fine points of islam, then perhaps you'd do well to browse the Islam sub-forum. Perhaps your points have already been addressed, debunked and/or ignored and taunted.

Also, you have the debate area where there are rules to have only one-on-one debate, and everyone else just watches. But you'll have to find a partner and agree to the rules of the debate beforehand.

As for the video... I've gone through half of it and the guy seems to explain in a very concise and fast way most of the questions that christians pose to atheists. Thanks for it. If you want to ask something about those questions or any other, please go ahead and pose it, either on this thread, or open a specific thread for it.

On a final note, don't be afraid to interact with everyone. You're not the only muslim around here. Maybe it won't be a one-vs-all kind of thread.

And..... Welcome to Af.org!!
Enjoy your stay, stick around, try not to whine, be prepared to read awesome stuff!

Welcome from the UK

That's quite an offer, there! It might help if you post an outline of the types of discussion/argument/debate you're looking to have: you'll have more luck finding someone if they know you're arguing biology, history, politics, law, philosophy etc.

There are quite a few well informed people on this forum. I'm sure that you'll find a taker if you're more explicit.

You could simply state your points in an open topic and only engage those whom you feel are worth engaging in discussion or argument.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I read the title as "I would like to spank an informed atheist".

I'm going to guess that an atheist well-versed in Sunni Islam is a rare bird to find. Good luck.
