Yep that vaunted Christian moral superiority
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_antisemitism
Martin Luther, founder of Lutheranism, a Christian denomination, at
first made overtures towards the Jews, believing that the "evils" of
Catholicism had prevented their conversion to Christianity. When his
call to convert to his version of Christianity was unsuccessful, he
became hostile to them wrote in his book On the Jews and their Lies,
that they were "venomous beasts, vipers, disgusting scum, canders,
devils incarnate. Their private houses must be destroyed and
devastated, they could be lodged in stables. Let the magistrates burn
their synagogues and let whatever escapes be covered with sand and
mud. Let them force to work, and if this avails nothing, we will be
compelled to expel them like dogs in order not to expose ourselves to
incurring divine wrath and eternal damnation from the Jews and their
lies."[citation needed] It is to be noted that the many Lutheran
churches and councils across the world have disassociated themselves
from these statements. (See Martin Luther and the Jews and On the Jews
and Their Lies)
