him: according to muslims the female brain is 1/4 of a man's brain, not in size but function.
This comment was reported. I discarded the report and kept the post. To soften things a bit, I replied. Dialog ensues:
me: I don't remember that... Do you have some reference of mainstream clerics?
him: There are many that speak this, quoting the koran. But obviously its all drivel and not worth spending too much time investigating aside from pure curiosity .

Women have 'quarter of brain' says cleric
The idea in a group where people is working with patients with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, etc., is to make things easy. Obviously, the guy was not understanding the message. I quote from his link, to make clear that the cleric's opinions are not mainstream:
me: "The cleric, who is head of fatwas (legal opinions) in the kingdom's Assir governorate, was banned on Thursday from preaching, leading prayers and other religious activities."
him: [my name] my intent here was only to insert a bit of humor...nothing they say would I ever take seriously. I have read the koran and I know how it does not apply to western society and the educated mind.
me: Your comment was reported, and it is giving me a lot of work.
him: [my name] what??? dont create drama where none was intended. just move on
An intelligent and considerate guy, who adapts to the public space we are on and is helpful to others. :-(
