Anti-Semitic... hmmmmmm...
Jews aren’t the only Semites in the Middle East.
Semites include Egyptians, Syrians, many arabs and a lot of others who are moslem.

It is funny to read people on the Internet talk about how much they detest anti-Semites, and then, without the faintest hint of irony, start ranting about how much they hate other (non-Jewish) Semitic people.

True, the cultural inspiration behind Mein Kampf appears to have been selectively myopic...

First to set fire to their synagogues or schools and to bury and cover with dirt whatever will not burn, so that no man will ever again see a stone or cinder of them. This is to be done in honor of our Lord and of Christendom, so that God might see that we are Christians, and do not condone or knowingly tolerate such public lying, cursing, and blaspheming of his Son and of his Christians.

The Bavarian Lutheran Church has acknowledged the obvious effect...

"...the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria, on the 60th anniversary of Kristallnacht, issued a declaration[97] saying: "It is imperative for the Lutheran Church, which knows itself to be indebted to the work and tradition of Martin Luther, to take seriously also his anti-Jewish utterances, to acknowledge their theological function, and to reflect on their consequences. It has to distance itself from every [expression of] anti-Judaism in Lutheran theology."

Other "Lutherans", not so much. 

It's difficult to contradict and avoid the errors of the past if they're hidden in the Synodical basement.

Semites all come from Shem, son of Noah. Semite is just an English variaton of Shemite.

True but Hitler directed his anti-Semitism towards the Jews.

Hitler’s statements on the strength of Islam and the weakness of Christianity showed where he stood on religion.

Current Islamic Jihadists greatly mirror Nazi fascism.

Why do people feel an obligation to spout off, before doing an iota of research, and then have the hubris to consider themselves educated or doing a service in educating others?

Antisemitism does not mean hatred of Semites as a whole. The term was coined by the Austrian Jew hater, Wilhelm Marr, to differentiate scientific racial hatred of Jews from Medieval religious Judenhass. His Antisemitic League was dedicated to opposing Jews and only Jews.
