The quotes above are also from the Video. This argument is illogical: ''because'' modern science has shown us that there is no 'deficiency' in a female brain, then Muhammad couldn't have been referring to every woman. This argument ignores the evidence in favour of a more palatable interpretation. The fact is, modern science and common sense prove Muhammad's statements to be incorrect. They don't prove that Muhammad was referring to a specific group of women only; merely that Muhammad was stupid in making a blanket statement.

Rasha then shoots herself in the foot by proving in one short sentence that Muhammad ''was'' stupid; she herself knows that Women are not stupid; that they are equal to, or excel men in many fields. But, in order to remain under the influence of someone who called her 'deficient' , she must use current knowledge in order to 'spin' Muhammad's words. In essence, when she says "That argument is a failure" she is acknowledging that Muhammad was 100% wrong to make such a claim.
