What would count as a balanced debate. The points I see that have merrit that could be considered ballenced are often rejected just on the point that they support the other side of the debate then the side those rejecting the points hold. Then on top of that even if the good points on both sides are not rejected, the often they are ignored to constrate on the points that have no merit and to fight against those points. Weak man and straw man fallacies to constrate on points of no value, instead of acknowledging points that have a strong stance.
For starters (of this balanced debate) here are two points that I would count as strong points in the debate of racism with regards to Muslims,
1). The actual harm done by the Muslim migrants, actually being acknowledged. These aren't small points to dismiss, but are a safety issue.
2). The value that several western countries have imbedded in them even from their beginnings (or at least strived to hold up to). That of a welcoming and hospitable country for anyone willing to immigrate to their home. I assume this was based on a Christian and Jewish teaching to be kind to the foreigners among you, and to treat fairly with them. As well as acknowledging the history of at least a few of the western nations foundations. That being that they were immigrants themselves. This also is a strong point I see worth not ignoring.
For your balanced debate, I would recommend you take the strong points given against the side of the debate you hold, as well as encourage others to do the same. Then (though it is hard to do) ignore the points that are only there to insult or shame another. Those are the weak points, that only sometimes have an underlying strong point behind them.
