The Original protester Martin Luther was against corruption and abuses. Luther believed The Church misinterpreted the scriptures......
The original Martin Luther, after first condemning the Catholic Church for their treatment of the Jews changed his tune later when they in effect turned their backs upon his attempted reforms of Church teaching....
Luthers words:-
First, to set fire to their synagogues or schools … This is to be done in honor of our Lord and of Christendom, so that God might see that we are Christians …"
"Second, I advise that their houses also be razed and destroyed."
"Third, I advise that all their prayer books and Talmudic writings, in which such idolatry, lies, cursing, and blasphemy are taught, be taken from them."
"Fourth, I advise that their rabbis be forbidden to teach henceforth on pain of loss of life and limb …"
"Fifth, I advise that safe-conduct on the highways be abolished completely for the Jews. For they have no business in the countryside …"
"Sixth, I advise that usury be prohibited to them, and that all cash and treasure of silver and gold be taken from them …"
"Seventh, I recommend putting a flail, an ax, a hoe, a spade, a distaff, or a spindle into the hands of young, strong Jews and Jewesses and letting them earn their bread in the sweat of their brow … But if we are afraid that they might harm us or our wives, children, servants, cattle, etc., … then let us emulate the common sense of other nations such as France, Spain, Bohemia, etc., … then eject them forever from the country …"
Given those words I would presume that the continuing persecution of the Jews was not helped by his teachings.
Another thought....did his words at the time lead to peaceful protests against the Jewish people, or not?
Meanwhile, the "correct" interpretation of the Bible continues to evolve.
