Iraqi runs over daughter, arrested in Ga.
WGCL-TV, Atlanta, reported Faleh Hassan Almaleki, 48, of Glendale, Ariz., was arrested by U.S. marshals Thursday night at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport.
The Peoria (Ariz.) Times reported family members and friends told Peoria police Almaleki ran over his daughter Noor, 20, Oct. 20 in a Peoria parking lot in an attempted honor killing.
Police said in a CNN report Almaleki was angry because his daughter was living with her boyfriend and "had become too Westernized and was not living according to ... traditional Iraqi values."
The newspaper said the daughter remained hospitalized in very critical condition.
Amal Khalef, 43, of Surprise, Ariz., the mother of the boyfriend, also was struck and was hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries, CNN reported.
Noor's brother, Peter-Ali Almaleki, told KPHO-TV in Phoenix last week tensions between the father and daughter began in the past two years.
"The people she's been living with is what triggered my dad's anger. She (Noor) is married to an Iraqi and lived with him in the Middle East until recently," Peter was quoted as saying. "After arriving in the U.S., she moved in with a new man and my father didn't approve.
"For a traditional Muslim family, that disrespect was the ultimate insult to my father."

Adultry
The Muslim father is insulted because of his daughter adultery and he takes revenge, in Christianity it is Christ who is insulted and He calls her to repentance.

Atheist? I agree with you accept for the fact I believe in Natures God. A Creator who publishes itself all over the world and even in the observable Universe which we learn through Science and Reason. Great gifts given to us by the advancing evolution of our reasoning capacity. Unfortunately Evolution does not work uniformly. The rule of life can be very difficult at times and we must learn to live and help and share with each other. The key is love and understanding and lots of education in the Sciences.

it's not the deity,
it is the twisted values of a culture run amok. The "primitive moron" [as you so delicately put it-too bad you are too cowardly to put up any identifying handle or I would have given you credit for it] thought he could protect his children from the influences of the "western" culture while they all were living in it. Over there, in Iraq, she probably would have rebelled against Daddy, and he would have killed her for it - and gotten away with it.

She committed adultry. Excommunicate her if you feel like that is the right thing to do. This is America. We are not a Muslim nation. We do not kill our children over relgious differences. And may I ask? Is her "husband" hand picked by you for the amount he paid for her? There is adultry and there is adultry. Her boyfriend sounds like her rescuer. Now, please Judges, do not let this guy out on parole to go home to Iraq. Try him, lock him up forever.
