About #5, Violence against Christians: The Spanish had good reason to fear the influence of Muslims and Jews undermining their political integrity: Members of the Jewish faith had solicited the Almoravids in the Maghrib to invade Spain. And during the Sassanid Persian invasion of Palestine, members of that communion led the invaders to hidden Christians, resulting in their slaughter. This age has no claim to sanctity, when one of three children are killed in utero.

The biggest taint on Martin Luther’s legacy is his treatment of the Jews.

In two of his later works, Luther expressed antagonistic views towards Jews, writing that Jewish homes and synagogues should be destroyed, their money confiscated, and liberty curtailed.

This was Condemned by virtually every Lutheran denomination. These statements and their influence on antisemitism have contributed to his controversial status.
