Saves a hell of a lot on costs.

*theologically impeccably* Although Islam and Christianity are theologically incompatible, up to and including the role and fate of Christ himself, that's legit, unlike a mixture of Islam and Hinduism.

obviously christianity and islam are theologically incompatible, that's why islam is it's own religion and not a sect of christianity. but both are (for example) monotheistic religions based around revelatory knowledge given by/to a human founder. it's significantly different from claiming to bridge a fundamentally monotheistic religion like islam with an overwhelmingly polytheistic one like hinduism

To be truly syncretic would mean Islam would have to incorporate paganist traditions of the Arab world with Judaism & Christianity, but Mohammed's primary goal was smashing all forms of paganism and overturning centuries of its inhumane traditions. Syncretic religions draw from multiple traditions that have nothing to do with each other to try and form some new tradition, which is almost invariably an elaborate reactionary scam.

One of my favorite failures of syncretism was when cult leader Frithjof Schuon, late in life, became enamored with the traditions of American Plains Indians. He did a pow-wow with some chief and jived on the mumbo jumbo. Then the chief, appreciating that this Swiss weirdo had taken such a keen interest in their traditional religion, gifted Schuon a beautifully carved peace pipe. Schuon then returned the favor by gifting back the chief a gaudy mass produced piece of crap "peace pipe" that he bought from a gift shop. Then he got butthurt when the chief was mad that his valuable gift infused with meaning and tradition, was reciprocated with some white man's kitschy piece of poo poo.
