"It seems that BJP has a historical moment that determines today's legal ownership."
What does "logically" mean, and what does "the structure of the argument" mean?
Here logically does not mean "true."
It means:
If someone accepts the premises of the BJP's argument, then its conclusion follows.
That is the logical structure.
For example:
Premise 1:
A temple existed on this site before the mosque.
Premise 2:
Whenever a mosque replaced a temple, today's legal ownership should revert to the temple.
Conclusion:
Therefore this mosque should not remain.
Notice that logic only asks:
Does the conclusion follow from the premises?
It does not ask whether the premises are historically accurate or whether Premise 2 is morally or legally justified.
that is the structure of the argument and I am describing the form of the argument, not endorsing it.
