Based on discussions in this thread, here is the official description of this faction.
Name:ابناء محمد (The Sons of Mohammed)
Brief Description: Unlike their cousins in the Great Caliphate in northern Africa, the Sons of Mohammed ascribe to a very radical variation of Islam, practically unrecognizable compared to the original. It began after the destruction of many Islamic nations in the middle east during the War by Western powers. This infuriated the people in this area, who declared an ultimate jihad against them. The events of the war essentially prevented any action along these lines, but the resentment simmered and served to unify the peoples in this area. They vowed not to forget, and to become powerful enough to punish all their enemies. Their biggest hatred is against the Papal Empire forming in Europe, but they aren't strong enough to attack them yet.
Population: 50,000 people.
Government: The Sons of Mohammed have their own Caliph, who rules the nation by claiming Divine Mandate of Heaven, essentially as a dictator. Not all of the people under his command believe his radical theology, but they are forced to follow along.
Technology Level: By managing to unify under a common cause during the War, but not actually participating greatly in it, this faction has actually managed to maintain a decently high level of technology.
Purpose In Invading Minerva: The Papal Empire is their main target, but they don't have the technology or weaponry to be able to challenge them right now. Minerva, in it's weakened state, is a more possible target. Strengthened by their resources and technology, they then plan on turning around and launching a crusade against the Papal Empire.
Military Resources: A decent supply of firearms and weaponry for their main troops. Have a select band of soldiers, called the Hashshashin Guard, directly under the control of the Caliph. These soldiers have undergone medical and genetic enhancements that make them superior soldiers, but at the cost of their long term health and lifespan. They accept this for the glory of jihad and promised blessings after their deaths. The fight with great ferocity, cutting a path through enemy lines that the regular soldiers are then able to exploit.
What Needs to be Planned:
Ok, so based on these basics, those who wish to be part of this faction need to decide the specifics on what the Federation is able and willing to commit to the invasion. Number of soldiers, command structure, weapons and tanks and etc, oil resources/reserves, etc. These numbers need to be believable based on the information above, and what is likely to still be around 100 years after a long, resource-consuming war. You also have to decide if and which other factions you want to try to make treaties with and etc in your invasion.
Don't make your actual invasion plans here, that will be a later thread.
