Title: Sex And The City 2 Blasted As 'Anti-Muslim'

The film sees the four New Yorker friends traveling to the Middle East for a trip to Abu Dhabi, but the Hollywood Reporter says it conjures up a "scathing portrayal of Muslim society"

Carrie, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte York Goldenblatt (Kristin Scott) and Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) get caught up in moments there which the review says shows the region as "puritanical and misogynistic".

Officials in the United Arab Emirates had denied the production team permission to film within the city, as did Dubai and instead the Abu Dhabi scenes were recreated in Morocco.

Abu Dhabi is currently considering whether to ban the film.

I don't really care about this garbage, but it's nice to see someone get under the Mooselimb's skin.  I guess the truth hurts.

It seems to me that IF a Muslim is portrayed in a true and accurate light, it's "anti-Muslim". I've been to Abu Dhabi. It has some nice places in the city, but overall, it's just another middle east shit hole. The people there STINK. (serious body odor) It IS a more modern Muslim city where women aren't required to wear burkhas. The slave trade is pretty proliferate there, many being Philippina.

What's anti-Muslim about making educated and supposedly-sophisticated adult women from the alleged cultural fulcrum of America look like aging white-trash sluts?

My friends dragged me to the first one, and it was embarrassing to watch.   :p  I actually covered my eyes during some of the sex scenes it was so embarrassing, which my friends still tease me about  :p
