I figured Amina probably wasn't played by a Muslim woman, because of the sex scene in episode one
I don't know about other countries, but in Indonesia the majority of actresses are Muslim (I would assume, it being an 85% Muslim nation), and there are quite a few sex scenes. Not as explicit as in Aussie TV, but in the arthouse (not mainstream) flicks there's definitely kissing and some bared flesh. The young celebrity actresses don't tend to wear headscarves, which I guess means they are less religious, but it certainly doesn't make them not Muslim.
My initial thought simply was that the actress obviously doesn't wear a headscarf in real life, but that she may very well be (culturally, or a practicing) Muslim.
