In the above video she makes two claims:


==== "Not a blanket statement for all Women" ====
==== "Not a blanket statement for all Women" ====


In the above video she claims:
{{ quote || That hadith was said at a specific time, during a specific situation, addressing a specific group and it was not meant to be as a blanket statement.}}  
 
{{ quote || "That hadith was said at a specific time, during a specific situation, addressing a specific group and it was not meant to be as a blanket statement."|<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYoNDgB-jDU Video lecture of Rasha Al-Disuqi; Topic: "Rights of Muslim women and their rights in society".]</ref>}}  


There is absolutely no evidence that Muhammad's statements in the ahadith were directed at that specific group of women because:
There is absolutely no evidence that Muhammad's statements in the ahadith were directed at that specific group of women because:

Women who are smarter, more intellectual in many fields. '''THAT argument''' [ that Muhammad was referring to all women ] '''is a failure.'''}}

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 could not have been referring to every woman. This argument ignores the evidence in favor of a more palatable interpretation. The fact is, modern science and common sense prove Muhammad's statements to be incorrect. They do not prove that Muhammad was referring to a specific group of women only; merely that Muhammad was wrong in making a blanket statement.

Rasha then shoots herself in the foot by proving in one short sentence that Muhammad ''was'' wrong; 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 completely wrong to make such a claim.
