The term "traditionalism" as a force for the future indeed would be an oxymoron for Muslims if they translate it as a movement of the muhaddithin or experts in the Hadiths or "traditions" of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
None of the existing parties, however, see traditionalism, in the sense of commitment to a higher sense of truth and justice, as a paradigmatic framework of thought and action.
Traditionalism really is a vision of the future based on restoration and creative renewal of the wisdom of the past.

Central to Guénon's Traditionalism is a distinction between the esoteric and the exoteric.
There are also two non-religious varieties of Traditionalism, one political and the other scholarly, both of which started before Schuon's Sufi order, and also before Guénon himself had begun to place the emphasis on Sufism that he did towards the end of his life.
Political Traditionalism was established in the 1930s by an Italian, Baron Julius Evola, on the basis of Nietzsche as well as of Guénon.

 Traditionalism and the American Order | Turnabout
As an explicit political view, traditionalism in America has most often taken the form of reverence for “the ideals of the Founding Fathers,” that is, for liberalism as it stood at the time of the American Founding.
Traditionalism has therefore needed arrangements that tend to make popular habits and customs independent of the state, and those arrangements were a prominent feature of the regime established by the Founders.
You claim that liberalism is a parasite upon the social stability of traditionalism, and you make a good case that liberalism is destructive of the social order, wherever it appears (but then it is intended to be, so to the extent that liberalism destroys the existing social order, the more liberalism accomplishes its explicit purposes).

 Is Hell eternal? Comparing Traditionalism with Annihilationism
Traditionalism is the belief that the lost will be tortured in Hell -- not just for a year, or century, or millennium, but for all eternity.

 Traditionalism
A spiritually more dangerous variety is the intellectualized traditionalism of those who have rejected Vatican II, or some portion of it (such as liturgical renewal or ecumenism).
Such traditionalism, however, is really a distrust of the Magisterium and its ability to authentically deal with, and occasionally incorporate, new intellectual currents and movements into the Church's life.
Whatever good, therefore, false traditionalism might seem to do in preserving the faith is undone by the attitude toward papal authority that it engenders by its overt and sometimes bitter criticism.

 Traditionalism
Founded by a French convert to Islam named Rene Guenon, traditionalism posits that depriving both social and individual life of its religious basis has a profoundly destructive effect on souls and societies, and that "secular modernity" leads straight to such horrors as Auschwitz and 9/11.
Indeed, it may be that 9/11 was designed not only to launch a war on Islam, but on religion in general, setting the stage for a secular "New World Order" (the novus ordo seclorum on the dollar bill).
Alongside these considerations, it is worth noting that issues of interfaith dialogue and the possible existence of deeper truths that unite the faiths have long been debated in traditionalist circles, and that anyone interested in such questions needs to be aware of that history.

In Reformed circles, this tendency leads to a fervent traditionalism, in which, not only the Confessions, but also the extra-confessional practices of the Reformed tradition, in areas such as worship, evangelism, pastoral care, are placed beyond question.

Thus, traditionalism includes a thesis of a specific form of religious pluralism, that all the authentic religious traditions are divinely inspired and are at the innermost core the same, as well as a cultural thesis that asserts that the cultural institutions of societies dominated by authentic tradition are justified as reflections of Tradition.
Traditionalism is an ideology, in the general sense that it offers a system of ideas on the basis of which it recommends a social or political program.
Traditionalism fails in its criticism of modernity because it makes use of an arcane methodology and ignores the details of history, it oversimplifies the characters of both modern and traditional societies, and by making Tradition itself the standard of its evaluations, it violates the moral principles of the traditions it claims to champion.

 Tradition or Traditionalism
Traditionalism is “the dead faith of the living” and it is traditionalism that gives tradition a bad name.
It is the disproportionate love of the authority of human law as distinct from its content, entailing an exaggerated estimation of the accomplishment of the law as such.
This lack of sympathy with the fullness of tradition (as opposed to traditionalism) is insufficient for those learning law because an understanding of presuppositions and alternatives is essential to an understanding of why law is one thing and not another.

 Old School Avant-Garde, New Wave Traditionalists: An Essay on Innovation and Traditionalism in Art   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Obviously, the form of traditionalism I am describing here, like the form of innovation which appeals on the grounds of novelty, is based upon a false impression of things, and therefore deserves no place in art.
Of course, all this negativity about traditionalism may give one the impression that the dangers of traditionalism far outweigh any advantages, and it should therefore be excluded from any influential role in contemporary art.
One of the greatest advantages afforded the art community by traditionalism is its value as a gauge, composed of those aesthetic values which have been thought consistently over time and circumstance to be true, against which we can measure, or assess both our own aesthetic sensibilities, as well as that of our art.
