There's an artist, Lalla Essaydi, doing amazing work tying together gender, Islam and aesthetics in beautiful ways.
Converging Territories (2003-2004)
Arab-Esque (2006)The first one is more indicative of her general style, but I'm really intrigued by the bottom picture. It's by far her most risque, but I like it anyway. Here's some more of her work from artnet.

Wow. Looks like she does the kind of art that I see in my dreams, but can never actually create. Amazing.
Thanks for introducing us to Lalla Essaydi... I'll have to go read a little more about her and her art.
