There is no doubt that Salaam's chances of being alive today today would have been diminished had he gone to Vietnam in 1970.

It's no different than saying that one's chance of being alive in 2017 will be diminished if they go to Liberia or Sierra Leone in the next few months.

Your sentence is logically correct, because it is properly qualified. Nilet's sentence is flat out wrong.

However, even your sentence overemphasizes a fairly small effect. 60,000 out of 9 million soldiers died in Vietnam. Less than 1%. More if you consider after-effects, but still not huge.

I think you're confusing "logically" with "literally." We both made the exact same statement— Dave claimed Salaam is "too dumb to live," and I disproved this claim by pointing out that Salaam is smart enough to avoid a dangerous situation that killed 60,000 people.

You then made another major logical error by committing a straw man fallacy— rather than address the point I actually made, you manufactured an absurd idea only superficially related to my point and debunked that, hoping no one would notice that you only "disproved" a claim no one actually made.

60,000 Americans died before their time (mostly in their early-mid 20's) because they went to Vietnam (by definition, they did not dodge the draft).

A much smaller number of draft-dodgers died prematurely (accidents, murder, etc) during the time that they would have otherwise been in Vietnam.

In other words, dodging the draft increased one's chance of being alive today.

Well, it's the birthplace of both the Prophet Muhammad and the religion he founded. It's also the site of Muhammad's first revelation of the Koran. A pilgrimage to Mecca known as the Hajj is obligatory for all able Muslims. Mecca also is home to the Kaaba, by majority description Islam's holiest site, as well as being the direction of Muslim prayer.

So explain why you think Mecca isn't Islam's holiest city?

So just because you don't want to go there, how does that not make it Islam's holiest city? I thought all able-bodied Muslims are supposed to make the Hajj...if you refuse to go does that affect your status as a Muslim?

No, you didn't. In fact, you explicitly confirmed the validity of my statement here.

What you "debunked" was an absurd claim no one made, which you created by taking the literal meaning of my sentence rather than the actual meaning.

I can't help it if you're not capable of understanding the nuances of the English language.

Not any more than my posting now affects my status as a Jew.

Or not accepting the authority of the Pope affects your status as a Christian* for that matter.

As long as he believes in the basic tenets re: God and Mohammed, he's a Muslim.

*"Your" in this case refers to the nearest non-Catholic Christian.

I think I understand now. You believe Mecca is not safe so therefore it's no longer Islam's holiest city.

Hate to break it to you but Professor Seyyed Hossein Nasr, currently University Professor of Islamic Studies at George Washington University (and one of the most important and foremost scholars of Islamic, Religious and Comparative Studies in the world) has published a book titled, "Mecca, The Blessed, Medina, The Radiant: The Holiest Cities of Islam." That's one of over fifty books and five hundred articles he's written.

No offense but I think his opinion as to which is the holiest Islamic city carries more weight than your opinion.

Some guy's opinion carries more weight regarding what Salaam believes than what Salaam believes?

I'm pretty sure Salaam knows his own beliefs. If he doesn't consider Mecca holy, then he doesn't consider Mecca holy— it doesn't mean he's not Muslim.

I know Catholics who think the Pope is a deluded old windbag— that doesn't mean they're not Catholic.
