Wow clearly lot of you retards itt never read Guénon since he literally spells his reasoning out for you in his works: Guénon considers Islam as a bridge between Western Tradition and Eastern Tradition, he believes Western Tradition is totally void of genuine initiatory organizations in our modern world, and he also believes Eastern Traditions such as Hinduism (which was his preferred metaphysical system) or Taoism are simply too out of reach for the average Westerner, both in terms of physical distance and in spiritual distance, therefore he presented Islam as the in-between for Westerners because it still retains Traditional chain of initiation (Sufism specifically) n is similar enough in spirit to Christianity n close enough in distance to Europe for it to be realistically available for a Westerner to become initiated into. Also because he’s a perennialist it isn’t really too relevant which religion he chose as long as it provided a genuine initiatory path to transcendental realization, etc…
