You’re comparing the Lutheran-Muslim alliance with the US-Soviet alliance? In 1529, the Polish and Austrians had rescued Germany from Islamic conquest at the first siege of Vienna, while Luther was whining about the military budget, convincing Germanic lords that they a duty to sit out the defense of civilization, and allow the Muslims to be the instrument through which God punished Christianity for being infidels.
Yeah, that’s why the Catholic church treated Luther as more than just another idiot bumpkin: the German aristocracy were salivating over the chance to grow rich while their military rivals depleted their fortunes defending civilization, and Luther gave them the theological tools to justify their betrayal: He was the Jane Fonda, John Kerry and Code Pink of his day, rolled up into one.
Thanks be to God that 23,000 Poles and Austrians defeated an army of 120,000 Muslim invaders.
Let’s not forget what happened in China and India when Islam conquered, shall we? The Muslim genocides actually took huge chunks out of the global population, wiping out hundreds of millions combined. These are the people Luther brought into Poland, not to help in a mutual counter-aggression struggle, but purely because they would depopulate a potential political rival.
There wasn't any Lutheran-Muzlim alliance...They both had their separates reasons form fighting the Catholics...They just happened to fight at the same time for a little while...

In the eyes of the Catholic religion possibly...But in the eyes of biblical Christianity, Martin Luther was more like the founding Fathers of and for the U.S...

That's nuts...Luther or the Lutheran church didn't bring muzlims anywhere...The muzlims perhaps saw an opporutnity to attack the Catholic war machine from another side...
