| A visiting professor at the University of Nebraska was in jail Wednesday for allegedly trying to sexually assault a female student who, the professor said, had `asked for it’ because of the way she was dressed. Authorities confirmed that Debasis Chaudhuri, 41, was arrested Sunday. The university said he had been relieved of teaching assignments. Police reports say Chaudhuri said he lost control of himself because of the way the young woman was dressed. He blamed her for the incident. The student said she resisted Chaudhuri as he fondled here and then tried to remove her underwear. The incident occurred Oct. 9 when the student went to Chaudhuri’s office to talk about her grades. Chaudhuri, 41, is a visiting professor in computer engineering from India. He is scheduled to appear in court Oct. 28. He is charged with attempted first-degree sexual assault and with first-degree false imprisonment. The latter charge has to do with holding someone against their will. |

| #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... |

| #5 The story doesn't say, is everyone assuming he's a Hindu? Mebbe he's a Muslim 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. |

| #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 it’ 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 |

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