This article, written by an Orthodox, will help explain some things, especially the distinction between this point of view and the hated ecumenism. I'm sure you will find it interesting. I was led to Orthodoxy by the writings of Schuon. Schuon himself was a Sufi. In my view. sufiism is crypto-Christianity par excellence
As Schuon himself would point out, for the believer, understanding the transcendent unity of the various symbols under which the uncreated Logos has entered human culture only enhances our appreciation of the Divine Economy. Cutsinger takes a shortcut, though, when he appears to make Schuon hold that Mohammed is a god-man. Schuon's position, from what I recall, was that there is only one theanthropos. Indeed, only in one religion does this concept make sense. He sees the equivalence to the Incarnation, at least for Jews and Muslims, to be the Torah and the Koran. The Word becomes human words and by those words the Word enters the heart. Among key concepts of Schuon is the idea that any true religion must have at its center the Incarnation.
