What did Luther & Calvin think of Islam?

"Luther wrote that the "two regimes, that of the Pope and that of the Turk, are antichrist."


Calvin in a sermon on Deuteronomy 18:15 maintained that Muhammad was one of "the two horns of antichrist."

Luther noted that Christ warned about false prophets coming from the desert (Matthew 24: 24,26) and this included Muhammad.

Calvin wrote that "the sect of Mohammad was like a raging
overflow, which in its violence tore away about half of the church."

Luther observed from 1 John 2: 18:22 and 4:1:3, "Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist he denies the Father and the Son." 1 John 2: 22, that the Mohammadans deny both the Fatherhood of God and the Deity of Christ hence they are liars."
