[quote]Walaikum assalam mr loveall.

At first I was glad that you took the time to read the article. But now after reading your reply, I feel that you are trying to attack me because I do not share your belief and you cannot substantiate your own belief with any evidence, either from the holy Quran or from scientific publications. This kind of intolerance is unjustified and deplorable. These are your remarks:

Quote: If you have neither the Islamic knowledge nor that of science, stop speaking like an ignorant or layman and laywoman

I am offended by this. Allah knows who has more knowledge and who is more ignorant, myself or you. You should not call others ignorants when you have no knowledge of such a thing.

Quote: Although women are faster in some aspects but in general men have more intellectual level.

Well, you keep saying that but you have failed to provide any scientific research work or publication to prove this statement of yours. You are not an authority on this subject and I cannot take your word for it. Give me some research work evidence of scientists. If you say that there are many publications that support men are smarter than woman, then please provide some evidence. I have already provided my evidence from Dr Witelson's work, and she says that both men and women have similar capabilities to solve problems, even though they have different approaches of doing that. Where is your evidence to the contrary?

And the link you provided, it does not say men are at a higher intellectual level. It says men and woman are different in their thinking and problem solving methods. It does not say who is more efficient. We all already agree that men and women are different, please provide evidence to your claim that 'men have more intellectual level.'

There is no contradiction about the statements of Dr Witelson.

Quote: Once she said, “Witelson is convinced that gender shapes the anatomy of male and female brains in separate but EQUAL WAYS BEGINNING AT BIRTH but afterwards she said, “The brains of men and women are indeed DIFFERENT FROM BIRTH”. What is this??

She said male and female brains are different at birth and the development of both brains is in equal ways since birth. What is the confusion?

Quote: Why did Witelson deliberately use the old-fashioned techniques in the presence

She counted the number of neurons in regions of the brain using her microscope. Tell me of any 'modern' way of doing that with machines?

Quote: the intellectual level of the women certified by Quran different from that of men

Ahem! Where in the Quran is certified that the intellectual level of the women is inferior to that of men? This is ludicrous!

The holy Quran never says that men are smarter or wiser than woman or that woman are dumb. Please do not put your own words into the Quran. Where the law is given for testimony of one man equal to two women, Allah subhana-o-taala quickly gives the reason that one woman may forget so the other can remind her. It does not say that women are morons and intellectually deprived. Please do not put your own words in it. Where the holy Quran talks about inheritance and share of two daughters equal to one son, it does not say why. Do not introduce your own logic as to why when Allah does not say why. Also the mother can get equal share as the father from their child's inheritance, hence woman is getting equal rights as man. It proves that intellect has nothing to do with gender.

QUOTE: Brother Oosman you can believe anything you like your belief DOES NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. It is not same brain!

I agree it is not same brain. The debate is whether the male and female minds have same intellectaul and cognitive abilities or not.

Quote: Although women are faster in some aspects but in general men have more intellectual level.

Evidence please?

Please remmember that the argument here is not that men and women have the same minds or not. We all know they are different. The debate is that are the women intellectually deprived over men? My argument is that despite having different brains and different approaches to tackling the problem, the female brain and male brain are equally proficient at cognition and posses similar intellectual abilities. There is no scientific evidence to the contrary.

Your turn.

Invite all to the Way of your Lord with wisdom and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided. Quran 16.125[/quote]
