What did Seraphim Rose say about Islam?

Seraphim Rose wrote relatively little about Islam compared to other topics. In his book "Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future," he addresses Islam alongside Judaism in the chapter on "The Monotheistic Religions." Fr. Seraphim is clear in his position that the "god" of Islam is not the True God. He implicitly refutes Islam's doctrine of Tawhid (the oneness of Allah) by citing the essay by Fr. Basile Stakkas, where he challenges Islam's claim to be an Abrahamic faith, pointing out that Abraham worshipped the One God in Trinity as per the Old Testament account. 

Considering the context of his time, Islam was not as prominently on his radar as other Eastern religious movements like Zen Buddhism and Hinduism, which were more prevalent in the cultural and spiritual discourse of the West during his lifetime. However, reflecting on what he might say in today's context, some suggest that Fr. Seraphim would have seen events like the 9/11 attacks as signs of the times, urging repentance among Orthodox Christians and viewing such events as manifestations of the forces of evil due to the world's rejection of God. He would likely have pointed to the spirit of antichrist in the trend of Christians converting to Islam post-9/11. 

Additionally, Fr. Seraphim would have likely appreciated and supported the works of scholars and theologians like Dcn George Maximov, Dr. Mark Durie, Bat Ye'or, and Andrew Bostom, who have documented the history of Islamic jihad and the treatment of non-Muslims, drawing parallels to the struggles of Orthodox Christians under historical Islamic rule. His approach would have been to encourage a fervent, heartfelt practice of Orthodoxy as a response to these challenges.

Are Jews more honest about their mistakes of history than gentiles because they still don't know why God made them His Chosen People?
