Sex and the City 2: Anti-Muslim, or dhimmi to a fault?

[1] Yesterday I posted a review of the new movie Sex and the City 2 (which is set in Abu Dhabi) that complained that it was "anti-Muslim." But this new review, "Sucks in the city" by Kyle Smith in the [2] New York Post, May 26, makes the film sound as if it treats Islamic issues with Hollywood's usual reliable dhimmitude:

[...] She soothes everyone with a free trip to an Abu Dhabi resort where the rooms are worth $22 grand a night. Carrie actually delivers the line, "Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore!" and writer-director Michael Patrick King's pun dependence becomes as unbearable as the gilt décor. "I'm going to turn this inter-friend-tion into an inter-fun-tion!" . . . "Bedouin, bath and beyond" . . . Blah, Blah, Blahnik.

The girls aren't interested in anything except shopping, drinking and strutting through the desert in slo-mo, but what's most appalling is that they vamp to "I Am Woman" in this land of sand Nazis. A veil "cuts back on the Botox bill!" chirps Samantha. Har. In Abu Dhabi husbands can legally beat their wives -- and Carrie thinks this place is Oz, a cure for her boredom with a zillionaire husband who, she complains, eats too much takeout. (She won't cook because she's more "Coco Chanel than Coq au vin." Waiter: one divorce, please)....

Once again Western feminists throw Muslim women under the bus. It's their culture, doncha know.
