Towards a theory of Islamic cinema

I've been thinking about this and some things have come to my head.

Islamic cinema in it's very language should be unique, different from mainstream Western cinema, and with it's own identity. It should reflect our values, rather than Western values, with the Muslim's relationship to Allah at the centre of all cinema. If we look at Western cinema, the most important motivating factors for characters tend to be human love, sexual attraction (romantic films), wealth and status (e.g. Italian Job, Snatch) or defending loved ones (the premise for most actions movies). Now, these may not in themselves be negative motives (we all go to work for money, we all feel sexually attracted to others, we all want to protect our loved ones), what we rarely see is Allah, God, or any type of religious feeling as a motivating factor for a character in a film. The only time we see characters motivated by religion they are demented lunatics like the mass murderer in Se7en.

So how do we build and develop a character who is religiously motivated? Can we name a recent character we've seen on tv or in a film recently who is religiously motivated and who isn't a mass murderer? And what do we need to do in order to make this character feel like a real character?
