http://www.metro.co.uk/film/827619-sex-and-the-city-2-first-review-accuses-sequel-of-being-anti-muslim
-- Hollywood Reporter: "[Carrie] and her friends run up against the puritanical and misogynistic culture of the Middle East."
-- "The rather scathing portrayal of Muslim society no doubt will stir controversy, especially in a frothy summer entertainment, but there's something bracing about the film's saucy political incorrectness. Or is it politically correct?"
-- "SATC 2 is at once proudly feminist and blatantly anti-Muslim, which means that it might confound liberal viewers."
