True
Islamic faith do not prohibit birth control. the prophet himself allowed coitus interruptus but the woman must consent to it as it denies satisfaction and child giving which are her rights. Islamic scholars interpreted this to allows child birth controls very early in their time, unlike Christianity and judaism which consider sacred the issue involving procreation, based on the story of Onan and his punishment by Yahweh.
Answer: The HOLOCAUST
Context/details:
The Holocaust is a term used to describe the systematic mass slaughter of European Jews and others in Nazi concentration camps during World War II.
Holocaust" is a term that means "burning the whole thing." It comes from terms related to burnt offerings of animals in ancient religions. Essentially, the unwanted Jews and others in Germany were treated like animals to be slaughtered. You can find appearances of the term "holocaust" in use already during World War II, such as the records of Britain's House of Lords in 1943 noting that a member there had asserted that "the Nazis go on killing" and urging some relaxing of immigration rules so that "some hundreds, and possibly a few thousands, might be enabled to escape from this <u>holocaust</u>.” But the term gained its main currency as historians in the 1950s began to use the term in reference to the Nazi's campaign of genocide.
By the way, the term "genocide" is another that came into use around the same time. Raphael Lemkin, a Polish legal scholar (of Jewish ethnicity) had been studying the problem of mass killings of a people group since the 1920s, in regard to Turkish slaughter of Armenians in 1915. He coined the term "genocide" in 1944, in reference also to the Holocaust. The term uses Greek language roots and means "killing of a race" of people. Lemkin served as an advisor to Justice Robert Jackson, the lead prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials. "Crimes against humanity" was the charge used at the Nuremberg trials, since no international legal definition of "genocide" had yet been accepted. Ultimately, Lemkin was able to persuade the United Nations to accept the definition of genocide and codify it into international law.
Although John Cabot (ca. 1450-1499) established an English claim to the North American continent as early as 1497-1498, more than half a century elapsed before Englishmen turned their attention to the new lands.
Answer:
The statement is true. The First Continental Congress was the first meeting by the colonies to discuss their common problems.
Explanation:
The First Continental Congress was a meeting of representatives of the Thirteen Colonies (with the exception of Georgia, whose delegates did not attend), on September 5, 1774. Its objective was to define a united political front to respond to the Intolerable Acts established by the British Parliament in response to the Boston Tea Party, imposing restrictions on the civil, political and economic liberties of the citizens of the colonies. This was the first time that the colonies showed a willingness to unite in the face of the British position, and the Continental Congress was, in this sense, the first superior organ to function as a unified body of colonial representation.
