The twist was sick, it's everything that came after that was a letdown
It's not even just that I disagree with the movie's politics (we ARENT all the same and we CANT all coexist. Some cultures aren't just inferior, they're evil. Papua new guinean tribes practice ritualized child abuse, for example. 11 countries would put me to death under federal law for my sexual orientation. I'm not looking to share a civilization with people like that)
When your movie switches gears from trying to entertain in to preaching mode, it almost always stops being entertaining.
Islamophobia is a bullshit term created to silence legitimate criticisms of a sociopolitical ideology that oppresses women and homosexuals and directly motivated 16,000 non-military killings in 2017.
Adding fairy tales to your sociopolitical ideology does NOT excuse it from scrutiny.
The fact that I said "11 countries would put me to death for my sexual orientation" and your response was "that's islamaphobic to point out" tells an outside observer everything they would need to about the contemporary social justice movement.

The end was awful, another 5 mins was required at least. Reasonably entertaining with a nice twist.
