Any comments about this assessment of Schuon by Maryam Jameela :
"I was utterly shocked by the article in Impact condemning Frithjof Schuon and considered it (and still do) the worst character assassination. When dissatisfied with revivalist books, I was at first greatly impressed with Schuon's writings. The writings of his school were alone in emphasizing the necessity of beauty and Islamic art, strongly condemned industrialism and modern science and upheld traditional orthodox Islamic civilization in every aspect of a Muslim's life. Schuon's writings remained my favourite books until I met with his divorced third wife. We became best friends and she related all her experiences in her 30-year life with Schuon. So Impact's article turned out to be true after all. My new found friend disclosed even more shocking facts about Schuon which utterly disqualified him as a spiritual guide. She disclosed that Schuon lived with three women without proper Nikah. He loved nudity and was accused in court of sexual child abuse. He hugged dozens of beautiful, bare-breasted young girls clad in only a transparent loin-cloth. He painted fifty pictures of his youngest wife in the nude. As entertainment, he and his followers danced native Indian dances. Outside Schuon's house was a life-sized statue of the Virgin Mary. Worst of all, he forbade his followers to befriend other Muslims. I still have all Schuon's books; they still attract me but I cannot look at them without a profound sense of shame."

How do his followers defend these allegations?

Is Schuon that important? i mean why would you need a response if i am correct Schuon believed in the validity of all religions a belief that clearly contradicts the Islamic creed and claim of only absolute truth.

In my experience, they dont, they either claim ignorance of them or they fully embrace them and call us orthodox sunni Muslims "Fundementalists"

Exactly: even if none of that was true, still remains his absolutely deviant 'Aqidah to put him out of the folds of Islam.

May Allah guide perennialists, and if no guide is written for them, may Allah destroy them.

Very dangerous people as umar rightly points out.
