Man runs down daughter for being 'too Westernized'
2009-10-22
Iraqi Arizona police are looking for an Iraqi man who they allege ran down his daughter and her friend because he believed his daughter had become "too Westernized."

Peoria, Arizona, police said Wednesday that Faleh Hassan Almaleki, 48, struck his 20-year-old daughter, Noor Faleh Almaleki, and her friend Amal Edan Khalaf with a vehicle he was driving in a parking lot Tuesday afternoon.

Faleh Hassan Almaleki was angry with his daughter "as she had become too 'Westernized' and was not living according to [the family's] traditional Iraq[i] values," Peoria police said in a statement released Wednesday.
Sure. They'll assimilate. You can bet your life on it.
Noor Faleh Almaleki is hospitalized with life-threatening injuries, according to the statement. Khalaf, 43, received injuries that are not life-threatening but is still in the hospital, police said.

Noor Faleh Almaleki lives with Khalaf, police said but did not elaborate on how the two women knew each other.

Faleh Hassan Almaleki was last seen bravely running away in a gray or silver Jeep Grand Cherokee, police said.

No further details were immediately available.
Nor necessary. Hope you enjoy your new life, Khalaf. I especially wonder how your opinion about what you've done will devolve as you grow up. Your own daughter. Pr!ck.
Peoria is about 13 miles northwest of Phoenix.
Which is about 7000 miles west of Iraq. Where Khalaf should have been living if he was such a devout muslim Iraqi.

Khalaf, if you're listening, you should know that your Jeep will run out of gas long before you get home.

#4  Isn't driving a car 'too westernized' particularly a Jeep Grand Cherokee? Maybe he should at least be more devout and use another non-western model.

#3  On the plus side, Peoria is in Maricopa County, which means that when this individual is taken up, he will be under the tender care of Joe Arpaio. So, I hope he likes green (indeterminate meat) bologna and trail mix, which he can eat while wearing his pink underwear.

Khalaf is the friend who was run down. Almaleki is the pr!ck.
