"The BIG Debates is an independent platform that seeks to build a bridge of understanding and discussion between Western and Islamic thinkers. It is a unique platform, offering to bring together opposing views and intends to serve as a space for all shades of religious thought and philosophy. We believe that outdated clichés, from both sides, need to be transcended with a nuanced discussion. A fresh objective platform has now come of age, where the world's thinkers can take a journey through the minds of Western and Islamic thought. We believe this is a much needed window of opportunity within a polarised post-modern world to facilitate the emergence of new voices of requisite reason."
Forthcoming videos include:
The Doctrine of Trinity - Man Made or Divinely Revealed? Adnan Rashid & Andrew Locke. The God Delusion? Hamza Andreas Tzortzis & Prof. Simon Blackburn. Does God Exist & Can We Live Better Lives Without Him? Hamza Andreas Tzortzis & Prof. Richard Norman
(special thanks to the Muslim Debate Initiative for organising this debate) and many more.

Asalamualaykum,
Have you considered debating Anthony Flew, who seems particularly hostile to Islam (from Wikipedia):
"Flew is particularly hostile to Islam, and says it is "best described in a Marxian way as the uniting and justifying ideology of Arab imperialism."[3] In a December 2004 interview he said: "I'm thinking of a God very different from the God of the Christian and far and away from the God of Islam, because both are depicted as omnipotent Oriental despots, cosmic Saddam Husseins.""
I think it would be a great opportunity to challenge this view.
