Well, now _that's_ an interesting idea. Somehow I can't see Belldandy as a raving Islamist nutjob... (Note: I said Islamist, not Islamic.)
I can understand the underlying themes, certainly. Bell is, by and large, a powerful statement of and inspiring force for both Faith and Hope. Still, the difference in personality is a bit more than I'd expect for them to both be expressions of the same underlying Divine Being. For that matter, IIRC, she routinely violates Khalid's dissonance conditions (constructively and for a good reason, I remind you, but the point is fairly clear).
You're right, though. She isn't pacifistic to be one of Novalis's servitors although she likely would get along them fairly well. Her personality isn't really a fit to how I see any of the archangels although, at times, it comes close to a bizzare cross between David and Novalis.
