Hmm, was the Final Solution a religious based program, or based on addled minded science mixed in with good old fashioned Conspiracy Theories against the Jews in Europe?
As for Rushdooney’s statement, the 20th century saw more mass slaughter than at any time in world history, without doubt the only epoch that rivals the carnage would have been during the great plagues, if he queries whether or not the slaughter of 6 million jews should be included with the slaughter of 50 million Chinese Nationals, how is that racist or anti semitic?
50 million deaths do not count?
It was clearly a mixture of religious, neo-pagan and socialist progressives. The Nazis passed out tracts from Luthers "On the Jews and their Lies" at their Nuremberg rallies. From wiki:The prevailing view[27] among historians is that his (Luthers) anti-Jewish rhetoric contributed significantly to the development of antisemitism in Germany,[28] and in the 1930s and 1940s provided an ideal foundation for the National Socialists' attacks on Jews.[29] Reinhold Lewin writes that "whoever wrote against the Jews for whatever reason believed he had the right to justify himself by triumphantly referring to Luther." According to Michael, just about every anti-Jewish book printed in the Third Reich contained references to and quotations from Luther. Diarmaid MacCulloch argues that Luther's 1543 pamphlet On the Jews and Their Lies was a "blueprint" for the Kristallnacht.[30] Shortly after the Kristallnacht, Bishop Martin Sasse, a leading Protestant churchman, published a compendium of Martin Luther's writings ; Sasse "applauded the burning of the synagogues" and the coincidence of the day, writing in the introduction, "On November 10, 1938, on Luther's birthday, the synagogues are burning in Germany." The German people, he urged, ought to heed these words "of the greatest anti-Semite of his time, the warner of his people against the Jews."[31] In 1940, Heinrich Himmler wrote admiringly of Luther's writings and sermons on the Jews.[32] The city of Nuremberg presented a first edition of On the Jews and their Lies to Julius Streicher, editor of the Nazi newspaper Der Stürmer, on his birthday in 1937; the newspaper described it as the most radically antisemitic tract ever published.[33] It was publicly exhibited in a glass case at the Nuremberg rallies and quoted in a 54-page explanation of the Aryan Law by Dr. E.H. Schulz and Dr. R. Frercks.[34] On December 17, 1941, seven Lutheran regional church confederations issued a statement agreeing with the policy of forcing Jews to wear the yellow badge, "since after his bitter experience Luther had [strongly] suggested preventive measures against the Jews and their expulsion from German territory."
The Nazi's were neo-pagan and socialist but clearly used the seeds of Martin Luther to further the Final solution. Conspiracy theories? Mass production of death based on conspiracy theories? No, much more to it than that.

Easy, if Hitler had 100 million Jews to kill and the time to do it, he would have. The intent was to wipe from the Earth an entire faith of people. The Jews of G-d. The 50 million does count but those were political deaths not Extermination of a people. And is anyone trying to kill Chinese Nationals today? No. Is the world on the verge of allowing another Hitler (Iran) to have at the Jews AGAIN? yes. Whether it be the crusades, inquisition, pogroms or holocaust or now Iran and ALL the arab countries, it is always the Jews that people are seeking to destroy, generation after generation. That is a unique difference.
