* I maintain that some Jew wrote it [the Book of James] who probably heard about Christian people but never encountered any. We should throw the Epistle of James out of this school [the University of Wittenburg].... * We are At Fault for not slaying them [the Jews]. *
What shall we do with...the Jews?...I advise that all their prayer books and Talmudic writings...are to be taken from them. What shall we do with...the Jews?...I advise that safe-conduct on the highways be abolished completely for the Jews. What shall we do with...the Jews? I advise that their rabbis be forbidden to teach on pain of loss of life and limb. What shall we do with...the Jews?...set fire to their synagogues or schools and bury and cover with dirt whatever will not burn, so that no man will ever again see a stone or cinder of them. What shall we do with...the Jews?...their homes also should be razed and destroyed. There are quotes that make it seem quite likely that Martin Luther was anti-Semitic, but then so were many others back then, and sadly so are many others today. It would be a logical fallacy to say that this means that the core of Christian faith is untrue, but it seems quite likely that Martin Luther didn't get everything right. Some have suggested that this indicates a general and original Protestant bias towards anti-Semitism, they cite the passion narratives, which describe Jewish involvement in the arrest and murder of Jesus. But this is a short sighted assertion when you consider that Christian's also freely admit that the same Jewish Jesus is viewed as God. A Christian might reply, "If being Jewish is bad/evil/dirty, then we have a real problem with the sinless and praise worthy Jesus."
