Arizona Jails Iraqi Driver Accused of Running Down Daughter With His Car
Sunday, November 01, 2009

PEORIA, Ariz. — An Iraqi immigrant accused of running down his daughter with his car because she was becoming "too Westernized" was returned to Arizona Saturday to face aggravated assault charges.

Faleh Almaleki was arrested Thursday when he arrived at Atlanta's airport, sent from the United Kingdom after authorities denied him entrance. He was returned to the Phoenix-area city of Peoria, booked and taken to a county jail.

He is accused of striking and then running over his 20-year-old daughter and her boyfriend's mother with his Jeep on Oct. 20 as the women were walking across a Peoria parking lot.

Noor Almaleki remains hospitalized in serious condition after undergoing spinal surgery. The other woman, Amal Khalaf, is in serious but stable condition, according to family members.

Police said the Almalekis moved to Peoria from Iraq in the mid-1990s.

Family members said Noor Almaleki had been living with her boyfriend and Khalaf, and Faleh Almaleki was upset that his daughter had become too "Westernized," had failed to live by traditional Muslim values and had disrespected the family.

After the incident, authorities said Almaleki went to Mexico. He eventually flew to London, but United Kingdom Port of Entry authorities denied him entry into the country.

This is no longer "islamic honor killings", it's islamic terrorism and should be treated as such. It's OK, it's just part of being good muslim. Funny, I didn't see anyone condemning this islamic killing/murder.

islam, such a peaceful religion.

'Westernized' Woman Allegedly Hit by Dad's Car Dies
Tuesday, November 03, 2009

PHOENIX — A young Iraqi woman whose father allegedly hit her with his car because she had become too Westernized died from her injuries Monday after lying in a coma for nearly two weeks.

Noor Faleh Almaleki, 20, underwent spinal surgery and had been in a hospital since Oct. 20, when police say her father ran down her and her boyfriend's mother with his Jeep as the women were walking across a parking lot in the west Phoenix suburb of Peoria.

The other woman, Amal Khalaf, is expected to survive.

Faleh Hassan Almaleki, 48, fled after the attack but was arrested Thursday when he arrived at Atlanta's airport, where he was sent from the United Kingdom after authorities denied him entrance.

Peoria police interviewed him and brought him back to Arizona over the weekend, but have declined to release what Almaleki said to them.

At a court hearing over the weekend in Phoenix, county prosecutor Stephanie Low told a judge that Almaleki admitted to committing the crime.

"By his own admission, this was an intentional act and the reason was that his daughter had brought shame on him and his family," Low said. "This was an attempt at an honor killing."

This just shows the mentality (or lack there of) of a huge percentage of those in this world. This is what we(or more precisely- you gents) are up against. How do you reason with the kind of man that will kill his own beautiful daughter?? They are not men, they are beasts. Obviously no regard what so ever for human life.. not even that which he had created. This is going to be (or should be) a huge trial and should be used as a clear and deliberate message to those who believe in "honor killings" that justice in this country prevails.This kind of $#!* will not be tolerated. I'm hoping for a death sentence for daddy dearest. It should not be lost on those prosecuting this case that the world will be watching. The muslim world will be watching and the muslims in this country will be watching. At the very least he should be sent to old Sheriff Joe down there in AZ. I'm sure he can find a cage for this beast.

Damn Shame............

There is no way to reason with this, since this is acceptable behavior from their perspective. To them it is reasonable. To us it reprehensible.

We should be trying to reason with those in this country who feel that we can all just get along with this kind of gross behavior.

I'm with TS......There is no Honor in this premeditated terrorism/murder of ones own kin.

Bet you a Buffalo nickel the press will sway little about "Honor Killings", although it will be tried in court, not much will be said about Muslim law.

And world will be watching.

Interesting. Perhaps the issue of honor killings will be discussed in a Maricopa, County courthouse.

Man charged with murder in 'honor killing'
Almaleki accused of running over daughter

An Iraqi immigrant accused of slaying his daughter in an "honor killing" has been charged with first-degree murder and could face the death penalty, Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas said Monday.

Faleh Hassan Almaleki, 48, of Glendale, is accused of using his Jeep Cherokee to run over his daughter, 20-year-old Noor Almaleki, and another woman in a Peoria parking lot on Oct. 20. His daughter died of her injuries.

Almaleki was reportedly furious with his daughter for becoming "too Westernized," police said.

Prosecutors have labeled Noor Almaleki's death an "honor killing," saying the elder Almaleki killed his daughter because she dishonored the family by not following traditional Iraqi or Muslim values.

She reportedly married a man in Iraq and returned to Arizona to live with a boyfriend and his mother in Surprise.

Thomas announced Almaleki was also being charged with attempted first-degree murder in the attack on his daughter's friend, Amal Khalaf, 43. Khalaf is the boyfriend's mother and is expected to recover from her injuries, police said.

Almaleki was charged with two additional felony counts for leaving the scene of a serious injury accident.

Thomas said his office is still determining whether to seek the death penalty for Almaleki. He called the case "tragic," saying the county will prosecute Almaleki to the full extent.

At Almaleki's initial court appearance on Oct. 31, county prosecutor Stephanie Low said he admitted deliberately running down his daughter.

"By his own admission, this was an intentional act, and the reason was that his daughter had brought shame on him and his family," Low said. "This was an attempt at an honor killing."

Almaleki was a fugitive for about a week, fleeing for Mexico and later taking a plane to London, investigators said.

He was detained by British authorities and extradited.
