The comparison to Thomas Muentzer ends up being interesting. He was a protege of Luther's who was critical of corruption in the Church. He was too radical for Luther, and he eventually got involved in an armed uprising of peasants that did not end well for him.

My impression is that Bin Laden is critical of corruption in Muslim society and wants to reform it. That may be where the comparison to Luther comes in, although it's probably not a good fit.
