Martin Luther initially mistook the Jewish religion for something similar to Catholicism (a distortion of Christianity) but soon realized that it was something far worse and wrote an entire book on it.

@swiley Since this is historic and simply providing a historic figures biggoted perspective I see no issue with it from a moderator position.

But I do want to be clear anti-semetric views wouldnt be tolerated here should anyone get the smart idea of spewing hate. You are good, but I do want to make that clear should someone wander across this thread and read too much into it.

@freemo Would you say the same thing to someone attacking white people?
This is an argument against a hateful and genocidal ideology mind you, not a race.

@swiley yes I would, and have.

you havent expressed which views you yourself prescribe to, so its not a problem. As for Luther's views, thats not something I feel a need to pick apart, they stand on their own as his opinion.

Jews can refer to their race (Ashkenazi), their country/government (Israel), or their religion (Jeuadism). Which one you happen to be referring to would depend on context.

@swiley I also want to point out.. as far as I am concerned Jews **are** white people. So if I defend them I'm already proving I would defend white people.

@freemo Jews are very much distinct. That's a whole separate thing thought.
