Let's address each question one by one:

  1. The Koran was written by Muhammad in Arabic and became the cornerstone of Islam. True or False? The answer is False.

    Explanation:

    • The Koran (or Quran) is indeed the cornerstone of Islam and it is written in Arabic. However, it was not written by Muhammad himself. According to Islamic belief, the Quran is the word of God (Allah) as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad by the archangel Gabriel over a period of approximately 23 years. Muhammad recited these revelations, and his followers memorized and later transcribed them into written form.

  2. Jerusalem was only a holy site for those of Jewish faith. True or False? The answer is False.

    Explanation:

    • Jerusalem is a holy site for multiple religions, not just Judaism. For Jews, it is the location of the ancient Temple and the Western Wall. For Christians, it is significant as the place where Jesus was crucified and resurrected. For Muslims, it is home to the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, where it is believed that Muhammad ascended to heaven during the Night Journey.

  3. The Inquisition was a peaceful attempt to spread Christianity under King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. True or False? The answer is False.

    Explanation:

    • The Inquisition, particularly the Spanish Inquisition initiated by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella in 1478, was far from peaceful. It was a series of efforts aimed at rooting out heresy and ensuring religious orthodoxy within their realms. The methods used were often harsh and included torture, forced conversions, and executions. The Inquisition targeted Jews, Muslims, and other groups who were suspected of not fully converting to Christianity or of practicing their former religions in secret.
