Ariz. jails Iraqi driver after daughter run down - Yahoo! News

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.
They contacted U.S. authorities and Almaleki was put on a flight back to Atlanta, where he was arrested.

I hope he rots in jail for a long time.

Stupid monster. Too bad he can't be sentenced to a run over. He should never get out.

Good. These fucks need to learn...and perhaps the only way is the hard way...that killing or otherwise maiming other fucking human beings (especially your own goddamned DAUGHTER) is not only unacceptable, but officially makes you the scum of the earth and if an afterlife exists, assures you a top spot in whatever hell your fucked up religion subscribes to.

Here's a tip - if you don't want your kids to become Westernized, don't bring them to America. I hope he rots in jail forever.

Strange customs. A few years back around here, an Arab father shot and killed his beautiful high school-aged daughter for the same reason. I think she came home late or something, and defied her father.

I feel the same way. In fact, how dare you come here and then get upset when your kids adapt to the fucking culture that you chose to raise them in. You could have kept your ass at home, but you didn't for a reason. I'm sick of people who want the benefits of this country (for themselves at least, if not for their daughters) then complain about our way of life. Hell, at least I was born here, you picked it out as a new home, so shut the fuck up.
