Not all Protestants. Swedenborg wrote a lot on his mystical experiences with the divine, which are remarkably similar to Sufism according to Henry Corbin. Even Johnny Appleseed (a Swedenborgian) could be seen as a Western counterpart to the Sufi ascetics. I guess the problem is that Swedenborg was not as successful in restoring mysticism into Protestantism as al-Ghazali was with Sunni Islam.
