Read the following excerpt from President Harry Truman's radio address to the American people on August 9, 1945. Which two lines

imply that the use of the atomic bomb by the Allies was a lesser evil compared to its use by the Axis powers? I realize the tragic significance of the atomic bomb. Its production and its use were not lightly undertaken by this Government. But we knew that our enemies were on the search for it. We know now how close they were to finding it. And we knew the disaster, which would come to this Nation, and to all peace-loving nations, to all civilization, if they had found it first. That is why we felt compelled to undertake the long and uncertain and costly labor of discovery and production. We won the race of discovery against the Germans. Having found the bomb we have used it. We have used it against those who attacked us without warning at Pearl Harbor, against those who have starved and beaten and executed American prisoners of war, against those who have abandoned all pretense of obeying international laws of warfare. We have used it in order to shorten the agony of war, in order to save the lives of thousands and thousands of young Americans. We shall continue to use it until we completely destroy Japan's power to make war. Only a Japanese surrender will stop us.

The lines which imply the use of the atomic bomb by the Allies was a lesser evil compared to its use by the Axis powers are these:

  • We knew that our enemies were on the search for it. We know now how close they were to finding it. And we knew the disaster, which would come to this Nation, and to all peace-loving nations, to all civilization, if they had found it first.

President Truman realized the horrific devastation the atomic bomb had the ability to cause.  But he stated his purpose in using it as one to "shorten the agony of war" and "save the lives of thousands and thousands of young Americans."   He believed that if the Axis powers were allowed to continue, they would only continue to bring war and further devastation to the world.

What is the basic belief of the islamic religion
Andru [333]

<u>The basic belief of the Islamic religion is that its faith centered around in one God, Allah</u> (belief in Allah as the one and only God). It is a monotheistic faith. Its history relates back to the patriarch Abraham, and to the first prophet, Adam. The last in the series of prophets that preached the same universal message of belief in one God and kindness to humanity, according to Muslims, was Muhammad (is the final prophet). He was not happy because of superstitions and social/economic injustice. The people were worshipping many gods and had forgotten the message of prophet Abraham (to worship one God). His main message is that there was no other God but Allah and that people should lead their lives in a way that was pleasing to Allah.

<em>Allah is the Arabic word for God.</em>
