Noor Faleh Almaleki died Monday of injuries suffered when she was run over October 20 in a parking lot in the Phoenix suburb of Peoria, Arizona, police there said. Authorities said they expect to change the aggravated assault charge against her father, Faleh Hassan Almaleki, 48, to more severe counts after meetings with prosecutors, Peoria police announced.
Peoria police said Faleh Hassan Almaleki believed his daughter had become “too Westernized” and had abandoned “traditional” Iraqi values. Peoria police spokesman Mike Tellef told CNN the family moved to the Phoenix area in the mid-1990s, and Almaleki was unhappy with his daughter’s style of dress and her resistance to his rules.
So let me get this straight. You move your family to the United States when your daughter is just a small girl. She grows up as an American; she goes to American schools, watches American TV, and is immuresed in American culture. Yet, you are upset once she becomes “too westernized”. What did you expect? UGH!!! Nothing can really be said other than it’s a shame that this mental giant took it upon himself to kill his beautiful daughter.
