"Women don't deserve to drive because they only have a quarter of a brain."



According to the head of religious fatwas (edicts) in Saudi Arabia's Assir governorate, a woman shouldn't be allowed to drive because "she has a quarter of a brain."

You heard that right.

In a now-viral video that started making the rounds online late on Wednesday, Sheikh Saad Al Hajari is heard making the statement to a group of people during what appears to be a sermon.

"A woman isn't equal to a man when it comes to brain power and this is how she was created," Hajari said.

He then explained that because women have "half a brain," Saudi Arabia's Road and Traffic safety authority shouldn't allow them to drive.

"If a man had half a brain, would they issue him a driving license? They wouldn't."

Hajari's insults didn't stop here, he went on to explain that when women go shopping, they lose another half of their existing "half brain" and end up with only a quarter.

"Women don't deserve to drive because they only have a quarter of a brain," he reiterated.

Hajari's comments come at a time when the debate about women's right to drive continues to intensify.

Under the country's current law, there is no official prohibition on women driving, however, officials have yet to issue driving licenses to women.

Outrage on social media

As soon as a video of Hajari's talk started to circulate online, it sparked outrage on Saudi Twitter.

Many wondered how a person who calls himself a religious cleric could make such statements, while others called on authorities to take immediate action against him.

The images below were some reactions on twitter..



As for me, I think the cleric hasn't said anything wrong because he is expressly relaying and conveying the same message the Holy Quran generally says about women or portrays women as.. I don't mean to sound demeaning or controversial but that's the bitter truth..

Like if you Agree and Share if you Disagree with my conclusion..

OK

Hmmm

was he making reference to Saudi Arabian women or all Muslim women?

99% of women cant drive. Always confused

Hehehehehe
Hajari inherited the brain of his mother.

This sexist dick needs to be given a ride of life by a good female driver. Ride him above speed limit _till his head starts spinning like the blade of a chopper.

He would be given the chance to make another statement after the ride. Let's hope his full brain comes up with something foolproof.

Christain women have **full brain**

. . islam sef

Some of the most highly regarded and combat tested air-force fighter jet pilots in the world, happen to be women, and yet this senile, doddering old geezer STILL insists on expounding his archaic prejudices against women, by suggesting condescendingly that the elementary skill of driving a car would be a challenge for the entire 50% of his nation's population that is female.

This conceited misogynistic mindset defines the quintessential Saudi male, who relishes in forcing his own nation's women to dress up in stifling Batman costumes, even as he flies off to Amsterdam for frolics with call girls, in between touring the strip joints. That leering double standard, and that contempt for women in general, lies a the very heart of Saudi culture.
