During the onset of the Protestant reformation, the Holy Roman Empire was already involved in what would become a long series of war against the Ottoman Empire.
It was common for the Pope to declare Holy League coalitions (basically Crusades) against the Muslim peoples which comprised the Ottoman Empire.
Martin Luther argued against the practice of Holy Wars sanctioned by the Church, and argued that the Holy Roman Empire should fight the Ottomans on the basis that they were Turks, not Muslims.

So a priest invented racism? Okay I guess. Plus the Ottomans had diffrent etnic groups as well. So when they see the Janniseries they should fight them in the battlefield?

I can’t believe Martin Luther had exactly the same opinion about race relations in Germany as the average AfD voter does today.
