He adopted Islam because it was convenient:

>those who, for reasons of an esoteric an initiatic order, adopt a traditional form different form that to which they would seem to be linked by their origin [do this] either because their native tradition provides them with no possibility of an esoteric order, or because their chosen tradition give them a foundation that is more appropriate to their nature, and consequently more favorable to their spiritual work.

Contrary to what takes place in ‘conversion’, nothing here implies the attribution of the superiority of one traditional form over another. It is merely a question of what one might call reasons of spiritual expediency, which is altogether different from simple individual ‘preference’.

Islam is not Christianity where for 1500 years you find defined dogmas and teachings. 3 years after Mohammed died there were 2 different schools and today there are hundreds not to mention the discrete and secret organizations like the one Guenon was initiated in 1912.

Read the life of Abu Darda and you'll understand Islam is mostly gnostic and you can't do anything to purify it

The history of Islam is the history of conflict between many esoteric groups - and this is precisely why islam is still a thing. As long as there is a conflict there will be passion and passion brings unity (even at the cost of war)

Taking on the names, forms, and dress of another culture as if you’re somehow more “authentic” and now “closer to the divine” is the almost the definition of idolatry. It’s assuming you’re enlightened or closer to enlightenment if you wear orange robes and shave your head bald. It’s assuming you’re closer to Allah if you call yourself ʿAbd al-Wāḥid Yaḥyá. It’s assuming that you’ve made it with the big G because you wear a crucifix.

Idolatry — the worship of idols, outer forms and rituals, as if they were the Real Thing. I sympathize with the desire for emotional excitement and exotic religious titillation but we have to stop pretending it’s the same thing as mysticism. In fact, if you can handle it, it’s immature narcissism and fantasizing.

To everybody saying Islam is Jewish ITT, you're incorrect. Islam is Abrahamic, not Jewish. Judiasm is a very specific subset of Israelite religions. Islam diverges from a point in the Abrahamic religions before Judah.

Although Christianity is derived from Judiasm, Islam is not. It is as seperate from Judiasm as Samaritanism is. Just wanted to clear that up.

Because you choose one thing over another, and when not your subconscious or body does instead of the awareness.

Islam avoids Gnosticism by not bifurcate the unity of man into an irreconcilable duality of spirit and matter and placing it's esoteric core within the confines of it's exoteric law (Shariah).

What degree of cousin marriage is this counting? If you're marrying your 4th cousin twice removed, 5th cousin, or something like that there will not really be problems. Significant issues occur with very close relatives not someone you share great (great great ...) grandparents with. Thats how most of the world lived for nearly all of human history; it's familial clans that one continues to marry within. European society was also clan based before the catholic church ended that.

Are modern muzzies retarded enough to keep marrying first cousins or are people being disingenuous with maps like these?

Its different because there wasnt "One central text" or "teaching" for the whole Pagan world. It was lots of different stories/myths that had been passed down orally & through poets.

Generally speaking, they were much more tolerant towards eachother than what Abrahamic sects are, which is due to lack of a centralised teaching and "Orthodox" interpretation.
