According to the Catholic Church (ER) wiki, the unity of the Eastern Churches was broken by the Islamic invasions. This seems to imply some sort of Caliphate expansion that spread all the way up to Badara.
This map would show the approximate extent of the Caliphate, without the intermissions I'd assume:

If Barmenian players agree to that, sure, there should be no problem with having the holy places in Kathuristan. The holy places in Badara could be explained as having something to do with the final days of Ahmad, and with his disciples.

Once Islam moved out of Barmenistan the Muslims elsewhere could have discarded the cat part. (It would also be cool if they retained it. That would help differentiate Queranzariah from real world Islam.)
No offence to all cat lovers here, but I'd rather not have mainstream religions have anything to do with cats. Instead, Felinism could be retroactively explained as originating from the indigenous, pre-Hosian and pre-Queranzari religion of Barmenistan.
