Not at all. It's already been done, in our most basic sources: try GoG.

The creed of the Men of the West runs: "There is no God but the Invisible God, and Malkion and Hrestol are his Prophets."

This is why I'm rather calm about the "discovery" of Islamic parallels in Malkionism. On the other hand, adding a bit more exotic chic w/things like the Jrusteli Jihad, my Carmanian Dualists, extreme Legalism, etc. doesn't hurt Malkionism at all. But I don't think there are many who'll be seeing the West as more Arabian than Arthurian.

Wonderful: inspiring stuff!
