>>Besides, it's only published in German, not many Arabs can read it.

Evidently we could use an English version.

Consider this revisionist gem:

"So he was an anti-Semite after all, wasn’t he? He was not. Anti-Semites are racists, and racists appeared on the scene much later in history—after the Enlightenment and the French Revolution. Luther did not think of Jews in ethnic terms; his bias was religious. Just before his death he admonished the princes to treat converts from Judaism as brethren. "

--Uwe Siemon-Netto, "Luther and the Jews"

--Lutheran Witness magazine, APRIL 2004

Luther was not a racist... because racism hadn't been invented yet.  Are Uwe Serious?

"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...

...Second, I advise that their houses also be razed and destroyed. For they pursue in them the same aims as in their synagogues. Instead they might be lodged under a roof or in a barn, like the gypsies. This will bring home to them that they are not masters in our country, as they boast, but that they are living in exile and in captivity, as they incessantly wail and lament about us before God."

--Martin Luther "On the Jews and their lies"

Quack, waddle...

Racialist or not - that's a DUCK!

How many people identify Karl Marx, born and raised Lutheran, as a Jew?
