#3 Several years ago I attended my little sister's graduation at Mount Holyoke. Chaudhuri would have died in his office.

#4 The story doesn't say, is everyone assuming he's a Hindu? Mebbe he's a Muslim - and that would explain it - or mebbe he's just borrowing their gig.

"...'asked for itâ because of the way she was dressed..."

This is the standard Muslim male excuse - and this behavior is not uncommon towards Western-dressed females (or those who don't cover according to the local norms) in Sharia societies. The poor myn are not responsible, if they can claim with some measure (in a mutawa's mind) that they were tempted. In Saudi, the mutawas would probably agree with him and blame this woman. The whore prolly looked pretty good - and that's just not right that she should look good and he doesn't get any... The bitch!

I don't have access to a search facility on the Haddiths, where the real action is, and found only this lonely entry in the Suras of the Koran...
Sura 4 --
15. If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, Take the evidence of four (Reliable) witnesses from amongst you against them; and if they testify, confine them to houses until death do claim them, or Allah ordain for them some (other) way.

I guess he forgot the part about ~~rounding up his posse for a gangbang~~ witnesses and decided to issue his own version of justice... Allah, may bees pee upon him, is prolly pissed - he knows all, and he reserves the right to handle the punishment stuff. He's sorta kinky, that way.

Both Debasis and Chaudhuri are Indian (Hindu or some other non-Muslim religion) names, without exception. Indian Muslims typically have Arab names - having an Arab name is part of being Muslim, which is why there are so many non-Arab guys running around with these names.

#6 Cassius Clay, Lew Alcindor, Cat Stevens, etc - I get it... Apologies to Indians and Hindus if I offended. Now clean up your mess...

Before I had encountered Islam as it's actually practiced, not the one in the adverts, I had always wondered about men who use this ploy. Just how gutless and lame can a guy get? I'd say this is it. Now I've seen an entire "society" that condones such behavior.

O/T: I wonder when Will Smith will become Mohammed Muhammed Mohammad? Mebbe, as Paul Simon sez, we can just call him Al...
