Put it down on paper. Arguments inside your head usually end up being inconclusive and stressful and they can run on forever because you're not really keeping track of anything; it's just your mind wandering from here to there so obviously there will be some bias.
My personal recommendation is not to waste your energy arguing about the Middle East. These arguments are all too common and a waste of time. Essentially there are three boring opinions most people provide.
1. Extreme: Islam is not a religion of peace. Everything anti-Muslim goes here.
2. Moderate: Can't we all get along?
3. Extreme: The U.S. sucks for invading and making the the Middle East situations worse.
It usually never goes beyond this. Every time this topic arises. Same old arguments. Just don't talk about it. It's clearly a waste.
