Women have a quarter of the brainpower of men

Saudi cleric says women have 'a quarter of the intellect' of men
Excerpt: In Saudi Arabia, where women cannot drive, a senior state cleric has ruled women should not be allowed behind the wheel because they have "a quarter the brainpower of men". Sheikh Saad al-Hajari, the head of the government's religious edict authority in the southern province of Assir, recently made the comments at a lecture on "the evils of allowing women to drive", Saudi daily Sabq reported on Wednesday. "It is not their fault, but women lack intellect do they not?" Hajari asked an audience. "Their lack of intellect does not harm their piousness because they are made that way," he said, explaining that in Islam a woman's testimony is worth half of a man's.
