I hope this "man" is prosecuted to the highest extent of USA law and has to remain in jail for years to come for this inexcusable abuse towards his very own child. Cripes, look at the hits on "muslim father kills daughter" google search!

We need to send a message loud and clear to immigrants, when in America, assimilate to the acceptable culture here, or spend your time in jail here, your choice.

There's nothing honourable about this creep's behaviour. Assuming he's caught, he'll have an opportunity to learn about honour while he rots in jail. Either that or kick him back into the 13th century where he came from.

Noor is a beautiful young woman, and I wish her a full recovery from this brutal attack. A normal immigrant father would have been proud to have such an attractive, Americanised daughter.

wooow seriously, this guy went over board. there is such a thing as "COMMUNICATION" AND U CAN ALWAYS DISOWN HER! but killing her? now he has brought more shame to his family and himself. =( noor i wish you full recovery and may allah bless u! ur such beautiful girl and i am proud to see a female fellow iraqi try to better herself in a society where it is hard to fit in! god bless

heh, so this is not okay, but trying to "honor kill" the guy that is sleeping with your daughter (that most likely is living a western lifestyle) is justified?

Dad sure likes our western money though. He had to know life was different here-when he decided to come over and live among us.

We have got to keep these people out of the USA.This is not an isolated incident,it has happened many times.These foreigners are clearly not assimilable.Many come from criminal backgrounds or bring violent traditions with them,and these incidents will continue to happen until we take steps to keep these people out of here.

tammy, immigrants, unless granted asylum, can not have a criminal background and immigrate to america. that is if they come here legally.

the usa is made up of people from all countries and all cultures. the thing that makes it work for all is when they become americanised and meld with our culture. it's a heck of a transition even coming from europe to here, but even more extreme when coming from a culture nothing like our own.

i am not granting excuses for this man and his behavior. i am merely stating the obvious. i think as time goes on, we will have less people that want to immigrate from across the pond. america isn't the country and the envied destination it once was.

"jadensmokes said: i am not granting excuses for this man and his behavior. i am merely stating the obvious. i think as time goes on, we will have less people that want to immigrate from across the pond. america isn't the country and the envied destination it once was."

Well, then, Jadensmokes, thank god for small favors. We don't need anymore people, whether from "across the pond" or elsewhere, emigrating to this country.

Like you said, this country is made up of many different ethnicities and religions. Unfortunately, when you segregate yourself from a westernized society and feel that your "ways" are superior, you no longer are welcome in this country. If you can't peacefully practice your religion in the United States, please go home.

She is so beautiful, Why try and kill her? This is America, shes young. In her frame its time to have fun and explore. He probably dont understand cause he like 45 and about to die. So he just wants life to be boring. Im 16 btw.

WOW I AGREE, AGAIN. OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE AROUND DIFFERENT TYPES OF PEOPLE, IF U WANT IT TO BE ALL THE SAME GO BACK TO WHERE U CAME FROM IM SURE THEY DO ALL U LIKE. DONT TRY TO KILL B/C U WANT WHERE U STAY TO BE A SMALL COUNTRY OF UR OWN.

Hmm in this country we don't kill our own daughters yet the incidence of domestic violence & homicide is just as high as so-called "honor" killings overseas. But we don't have a fancy name for it and can't blame it on dark-skinned, mysterious foreigners.

What this man did was terrible but let's not use this as an opportunity to get on our high-horses here.

Tammy,

Their children are assimilating. They will not end up like their mothers and fathers.

I have an 'Honor' killing for this joker. He seems to want to remain in his homeland, and he should have.

A relegion of peace and love.

This is so sad. So much dedication to the Muslim faith, and in reality, this man (just like the rest of us) will stand before God one day and God will have no toleration for murder. All of the violence and bloodshed for "Allah" will be for nothing.

Judging by his weight, it looks like he has embraced our culture rather wholeheartedly. Seems a bit hypocritical to me.

It isn't about nationality; it all comes down to religious beliefs. Again. Superstitious morons. ALL believers. They either do crap like this, or they ENABLE others by not stepping up. Grrrrrrrrrr.

This is what the Liberals want for all of us. They want us to apologize to Muslims. They want us to live like they do.

Welcome to Hope and Change!

wtf seriously? i live in Phoenix and i didnt kno people were this retarded

Most atheists (reason and logic driven people) are liberals. We don't apologize to anyone. We don't need to; we're not crazy.

And they made the girl who ran away to Florida go back to her home state saying she had nothing to worry about. I think she had everything to worry about. Just like these women did.

tammy and upnorth, maybe you should go back to where you came from, other people have just as much right to be here in this country as you do. Did you think the world is a better place if he kills his daughter in another country instead of here? You only care because it happened on YOUR soil? Just because you were born here doesn't make you the owner of this country, your ancestors were once immigrants just like this girls dad is an immigrant.

He will learn his lesson when he is getting sodomized in prison. I would love to get my hands on him one day!

Umm, this article says he "was last seen driving..." and has fled. If he is still at large, at what point did he stop and make a statement to True Crime Report about this being some sort of religiously-motivated "honour killing?" It is just a sensational spin intended to drive traffic to this site.

hey pilgrams, lets not forget about all the horrible things done in your god's name as well. People are people and screwy ones come in all shapes, colors and religions. I'd say they ratio is about 1 to 1 so lets start judging people as indiviuals and stop with generalizations stemming from the fear of things that you haven't taken any time to try and understand.

"We have got to keep these people out of the USA.This is not an isolated incident,it has happened many times.These foreigners are clearly not assimilable.Many come from criminal backgrounds or bring violent traditions with them,and these incidents will continue to happen until we take steps to keep these people out of here."

How would that have helped her? It would certainly have helped him.

Why is it the most ignorant responses to news reports such as this come from religious fanatics who preach their point of view but fail to practice it? I'm talking about all of you hypocrites who say "we don't want these people in our country." What ever happened to helping out the less fortunate? People have always come to America looking for a new start away from persecution. The religious responses are often the least compassionate ones I see, and I find that hilariously ironic.

Get a rope for this piece of crap.

I think this is the guy who sells me smokes and beer.

Chris, it would be 'hilariously ironic' if it weren't so frickin' scary. The world is dominated by delusional people who fear the unknown. *sigh*

I'm not for lynch mobbing this man. Isn't that, or stoning, the kind of reaction you'd see in the country these behaviors are acceptable in? How easily we forget the traits that separate us. The United States was founded by secular leaders and that has made all the difference.

How many times do religiously induced acts of violence have to continue before we, as a species, realize that religion is the problem? The simple fact of the matter is this: When one has based their whole life on the unproven, on faith (meaning a belief established without evidence), then they are liable to let any idea seep in. The solution to this is simple. Break the cycle. Give children about 10 years' time where they are raised free of religion, taught basic logic and scientific investigation - then allow them to decide if religion makes sense. Of course, I have no doubt that a few "moderate" religious folk will start yelling at me in defense of their insanity.

I think bubba has a "cockmeat" sandwich waiting for him @ gitmo

What *is* this American culture into which foreigners are supposed to assimilate? I am an American--I'm even white of northern and central European stock, if you want to take it so far--and I've been all over America. I see many different American cultures. We all have different ways of living: rural/urban/suburban, North and South, East coast/Mid-west/Plains/Mountains/West coast, Democrat and Republican, and others.

Furthermore, why should immigrants completely assimilate? Because you don't feel comfortable that they prize some parts of their heritage, while your ancestors did not? (Your own ancestors are not likely to have assimilated completely either, so this is no reason for you to think you are better.) Or do you not like it because it is scary and different? "Don't kill anyone" is neither unique nor specific to American culture. Would you still be peeved if no one kills anyone but they still wear a style of clothing that is different than yours?

And finally, there is no need to blame this on Almaleki's race, his religion, his nationality or anything like that. There are plenty of Middle Easterners/Muslims/Iraqis that do *not* attempt to run over their daughters. When you try to explain it as some aspect of his upbringing or whatever, you take the personal responsibility off of him. This guy is scum, period. He is the lowest of all low-lifes. Nothing more can be said, nor does it need to be.

Remember Islam is a "peaceful" religion. Yeah....okay...

This is indeed a horrible story about a lunatic doing insanely hurtful things. But there's more than one of those on this page. I'm talking to you, Tammy. I'm gonna take a wild guess and suggest that you're not full-blooded native American, right? I'd like to remind you and all the rest of the ignorant dolts out there that America is a NATION OF IMMIGRANTS. When did your ancestors arrive? Your hateful generalizations about immigrants being criminals merely display that you are a bigot. I'm sorry that you're afraid of the "foreign menace", but get a clue! I will defend your right to express your opinion, but it's opinions like yours that ruin our country. I bet you're a racist, too. Cut it out. You disgust the smart people.

You guys should keep those people in. See that his daughter is already assimilating the new culture.

@Tammy,

1849 called. It wants its comment back.

C'mon! Let's just call it what it is. "Honor Killing" is a totally BS slogan for "I'm pissed that my kid might be doing something I don't like, and when I'm really pissed, I get to kill her without penalty."

When this idiot arrived here in America, it should have been pretty damn obvious that this line of thinking totally violates the Right To Life clause, which he should have been required to know before showing up here. I don't know why we don't have a mandatory education on the Constitution for anyone who immigrates here.

Oh yeah, maybe Glenn Beck will get upset ...

There are 3 women killed EACH DAY in the United States by an intimate partner due to domestic violence and yet I don't see that making headlines. But an opportunity to bash Muslims? Priceless, can't give that up.

This is just the reason that justifies our liberation of Iraq. Our soldiers should have shot this creep years ago, before he had a chance to come to the U.S.

Islam isn't the problem. Religion is the problem. Take a look in your history book and/or consult your bible. The christians are just as vile and violent. I could name a dozen other religions that support equally reprehensible acts.

Watching you religious people argue is like watching the video feed for a high security prison. A bunch of delusional psychotics, murders, and rapists, all arguing over which one is worse.

News flash: you're all wrong and your actions are reprehensible.

There is no god. (Also no tooth fairy or santa claus, in case you were wondering.)

"And we sure as hell don't try to kill our own daughters." Uhhhh... yeah, you do. What about all those mothers in recent years who have been drowning or suffocating or dumping their babies in dumpsters? You know - all those white Christian women?

Way to generalize, America.

Just for the record allareequal - my father was Native American and my mother was German. As far as going back to where I came from - I'm already there. My point to this was not that people do not have a right to be here or practice their own religion. My point was that this is a form of acceptable behavior in the country that this man is from. It's not an acceptable behavior in this country. Read the post again. "PEACEFULLY PRACTICE YOUR RELIGION" The key word being PEACEFULLY. Evidentily, he's not capable of that. You said, "You don't own the country". What, are you 12? Do I think the world is a better place if he tries to kill in another country and I only care because it's, as you put it, on my soil? Look, I don't sympathize with any violent offenders. I don't care what country we're talking about. I'll leave the sympathizing to you.

Shawn,

I don't think anybody validates that though, largely including the jerks that killed their partner in a drunken rage.

Were plenty used to evil acts, but validating these acts as logical is different. Again more so when it's cultural as you can't blame idiocy. When it's done as a group of some sort, it'll certainly be questioned and should be.

What is largely more ignorant is the thought that we are so sure if we'd grown up all our lives being fed this that we wouldn't feel that way as well.

For every argument anybody has ever said, Because you should..., Come one everyone knows that, Because that's how it is etc..., a similary, although likely hugely less harmful, mistake has been made.

isuxdix from b9 is the epitome of liberal weeping vag doucheness.

You are right there are bad religious people and there are bad Christians. The bad Christians are bad because in truth they aren't Christians.
Here is the difference:

This man is following Islam and is doing what Islam tells him to do.

A person that actually follows Christ loves his neighbor as himself.

Big difference.

This is a horrible act no matter how you look at it, but I am sick and tired of people that know nothing of what Islam says saying Islam is a "peaceful" religion and how the terroist are like Christians.

honor used to mean something, like taking your own life if you have been defeated. after 100 years or so a man interprets it as run your daughter over if she disrespects(assuming)you. attempting to kill someone is attempted murder. this almost surprised me until I remembered humans are animals too.

Uh.. wrong Bobby dude, have you even read the christian bible? It advocates stoning children who dont respect their parents.

You christians are so delusional and ignorant of your own religion its not even funny.

Man.., It's people like this who make muslims look bad. I have to go through special security checks at airports, People look at me all funny now, and it's because of illiterate idiots like this guy who think that what they are doing is islamic but what they don't know is that they have been brainwashed by hypocritical so called 'islamic' clerics.

You are definitely one hypocritical individual...Tell me where was this man following and where anywhere in Islam is honor killing allowed? I've never heard to this day honor killing being allowed besides a cultural thing. Have you heard of honor killings in Malaysia, a Muslim country? Or in Turkey, another Muslim country? Or only in the middle east. And on top of that, you say that those bad Christians were not Christians? I'm pretty sure you can't just write off the massacres performed by people in the name of Christianity in the death of 50 million indigenous Americans as.."well they weren't true Christians." Quit being hypocritical. People do all sorts of crap in the name of religion regardless if its Islam, Christianity or anything else.

Major problem with immigrants and cultural differences. Main problem is this is america....not whatever country you came from. better act right.

-------------------------------------------------
Why keep this type of person out? I'm guessing you want to keep them out for moral reasons. Well, then what's the difference between this man trying to kill his daughter in Iraq or America. At least in America he will be punished for this action. According to your moral argument then, he is better of doing this in America's jurisdiction...

If/When they find him, they should strap him onto some pavement, arms and legs spread out, then run over him. But multiple times, starting at the feet and working up to pelvis. Then do the same with his arms, from hands to shoulders. Lastly, get his chest and, if he's still alive, his head. Let's see how honorable he thinks running over someone is then.

Matthew 5:17-20
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.”

Deuteronomy 13:6-10
If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, "Let us go and worship other gods" (gods that neither you nor your fathers have known, gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other), do not yield to him or listen to him. Show him no pity. Do not spare him or shield him. You must certainly put him to death. Your hand must be the first in putting him to death, and then the hands of all the people. Stone him to death, because he tried to turn you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

Just because Christians have learned to ignore the barbaric parts of their religion, does not mean that there is not justification for any number of horrible things. Islam is obviously a far worse influence on the human psychology in today’s society, but more to do with the fact that they are more true to their religion.
That being said, Jesus did say some good moral things, but mixed in with them is a whole host of terrible things he did not abolish, which he obviously knew about.

Quran 5:69 Surely those who believe and those who are Jews and the Sabians and the Christians, whoever believes in Allah and the last day and does good -- they shall have no fear nor shall they grieve.

One of our problems is that we are always pointing fingers. Why not take what is good and grow together. there are bigger problems in the world. People are starving all over the world, people are dying, heck people are homeless and hungry, here in the US. I would like to point out here those who wish harm upon the christians, and the jews, and those who believe in Allah according to Islam are not muslims. So there's gotta be a common goodness in them. Why not start from there? And if any of these advocates, stoning, murder of the innocent, 'honor killing' etc., we have enough common sense to shun it. so much can be gained by helping one another.

While I don't condone what is considered murder in the United States, it is something that is optional in several predominately muslim countries.

Also, please note that the Qur'an advocates peace.

Only as punishment for crimes such as rape, murder, or in self defense.

There is a simple solution to all of these people. Public hangings like we used to have. No need to spend years in court. Take them downtown, hang em from the gallows!

The fact that Mr. Almaleki is Muslim is irrelevant. That he is Iraqi, however, is salient.

Traditional Islam (of which groups like the Taliban are not part) does not accept this behavior. Frankly, traditional Islam doesn't accept domestic violence of any flavor and this includes honor killings.

In Iraq, however, honor killings do occur. It is cultural.

As such, the headline is misleading. It is probably factually correct that Mr. Almaleki is Muslim, but the headline implies that his 'Muslimness' is relevant to his act. As described above, it is not.

We need to send a message loud and clear to immigrants, when in America, assimilate to the acceptable culture here, or spend your time in jail here, your choice.

jadensmokes, I think this has less to do with culture, and more to do with the fact that murder (or attempted murder in any case) is a universally unacceptable deed, regardless of your cultural background.

Besides that, I agree with you, I hope this man gets to feel the full weight of the law upon him.

I am a Christian and I do not ignore what the Old Testament says. I am not going to go into a lecture here so at I am just going to point out just one thing: what I called the Old Testament is also known as The Law, the Prophets (major and minor) and Poetry.

Judaism is the religion that is supposed to be under the Law of Moses.

Carry on.

A lot of comments state that this person has brought shame to his family. Um, but who's standards? By the ignorant standards that this man and others in his community go by, he did the right thing, and now the US is infringing on their religious freedom.

Know the ignorance of a man, and you know how he sees the world.

Get used to it America. This is already legal in the UK. Muslim immagrants only report to a Shira counsel over there and aren't subject to the local law if it involves actions falling under the Shira umbrella. CAIR will be all over this to support this man and squash any type of negative reporting on a national leve.
This is what you want America, so this is what you will get.

Mr. Tells,

Without knowing the specific crimes actionable, it still appears highly unlikely that CAIR do any such thing. The organization largely addresses issues where rights of those who live in America have been violated because of their religious beliefs. This case does not appear to qualify.

Nothing like a little honor killing followed by a little honor-running from justice - an Iraqi tradition followed by an American one.

Boy, this inspires me to send more troops to help these people. America is not a melting pot, we have become a pee pot for the world. Support immigration laws and clean this place out.

Religion is the evil thing here.

Christianity is just as bad: The basis of it is a FATHER-KILLING-SON act: God sends his son to be killed so the world can be saved.

assimilate to the acceptable culture here, or spend your time in jail here, your choice.

Jesus. I mean, I'm all for immersing yourself in society, but seriously?

Honor rape his ass in prison!! :)

hgis daughter!?

Yeah, um. This isn't a Muslim or an immigrant thing, It's a crazy thing. By no means do any mentioned groups hold a monopoly on crazy. What he did was wrong, and I doubt the judicial system is just going to sit on it's laurels regarding the matter.

What he did was done, and it was wrong. But he did not introduce domestic violence to the United States.

Tell me again, why do we want immigrants?

Let us all point fingers about religion, yes? Or maybe just the immigrants? Has anybody thought about this: HUMANS ARE INHERENTLY EVIL? Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

A few people out there suggest religion has caused the human-race a lot of grief and they quote scriptures to back up their claims. Claims of stoning your child for degrading or calling down evil on their parents, adultery punishable by death etc. One must remember that the first half of the bible (old) has to do mostly with the Nation of Israel. They arranged a covenant with their God to become God's chosen people. Gentiles (non Jews) were exempt from any of those laws. Read articles on Mosaic Law. When that commentor was quoting Jesus not to change the law yet to uphold it was only pliable until the Jewish system of things came to its end in 70 CE. The Jews are no longer God's chosen people. When people are quoting all religion being responsible for wars, bloodshed and persecution, yet the Jehovah's Witnesses do not harm anyone, pay their taxes, are hard workers, clean, they never indulge in immorality and they uphold family values, and they follow and adhered to bible principles and are outstanding citizens yet they are persecuted and hated by a lot of the population, because they do what the bible says, they follow Christ Jesus examples of which he says not to be part of the world and make disciples of men. If everyone followed their behavor patterns today, every single woe know to man would cease to end

Yes Leon, and everyone would be good worker bees. Religion is used to control. End of story.

How quickly some of you generalize his behavior to his entire race! Educate yourselves! If there is anything besides him just being a terrible, sick, useless person that contributed to this incident it's religion. Religion (and not just his) can quickly become like an acid that eats through people's minds. The judeo-christian bible advocates beating your children to teach them lessons so don't act like your religion is any better. I agree with Michael Vandiver about the domestic violence part.

Everyone please pray for unity in their family. It is the best thing that we can do to help. They seem to be seperating as a family and it is a blessing to remain one. I pray for her injuries to be fully corrected and that justice is served to her father so that he may grow in wisdom and undestanding of what he has done and become a better human in the midst of this trajedy. Jesus bless Noor in her recovery, in your name AMEN

like totally man you need to like respect other people's values-i mean i wouldn't impose my values on another person-Gallup said most muslim women want Sharia law to protect them from western values -- so like be cool and don't be so intolerant-try to think of this from the father's point of view-remember hope floats

oh my god. This is terrible :( :( :( time 100000
I really hope that the man is caught and that justice is brought for the poor girl.
I'm iraqi, and honestly, I've NEVER seen anything like this. I really hope that if there are iraqi's out there holding onto old old old old traditions I hope they snap out of it.

To me said,

There is a big difference between running over your daughter out of revenge and God sacrificing his son Christ for the sins of the world. The guy from Iraq tried to kill her to satisfy his own sick wishes because he saw her as betraying his religious beliefs. He needs to be locked up in prison for along time, maybe for good. But Jesus was willing to go to the cross and die because he loved us that much. Also, if the Iraqi man kills her, he will never get her back. But God got his son back, as the Bible says that Jesus is now seated at "the right hand of God" and that he will come back again to reign on earth to finally bring us peace. So, you see, Jesus received great reward from his Father God. What reward was this Iraqi girl going to get from her father? What, a lovely burial? Besides, God hates man-made "religion". He wants a personal relationship with people, not some silly religious rituals. Don't forget, it was the religious leaders of that time who turned Jesus in to the Romans to be crucified.

I've been thinking that it would be a good idea for immigration authorities to explain to ANY persons coming to live in the US that children are COMPLETELY free to decide their own futures after they reach age 18. Killing and other types of coercion are not allowed. Wives have rights. Killing them is also not allowed.
If there is understanding and agreement at the outset, perhaps there would be better behavior.

He fled to Mexico and tried to take a plane to England but they turned him away and the police got him in ATL.

It seems there are a lot of things we want to blame here-religion, immigration, culture, the nature of the species. What it looks like to me is domestic violence-a blight of cultures everywhere. It was not so embedded into the culture of the family-the mother yelled at her husband and hung up on him. One assumes she too was raised in the same culture, worships the same g-d. One also assumes she loves her child enough to have expressed her anger at her husband.

What might be more useful is to question how it is the words "honor killing" came to be used? Did the relatives say specifically that this was an "honor killing" or was this a kind of shorthand used by a space constricted journalist? To be sure, our financial models for journalism don't always allow for a complete version of a story to be told. The use of the term automatically brings to mind bigoted ideas about someone else but we don't know which culture practices it, how many practice it and how many condemn it as a justification for domestic violence. Shame on us for not having the attention span to ask if use of the term is legitimate. And shame on us too for rising to the bait of the inciting words "honor killing." Until there is justification for the usage, it is simply-and sadly-an act of violence.

He shouldnt of took the law in his own hands!!!!! This is where he went wrong ISLAMICALLY. He should of simply disowned her for filthy acts of fornication and adultery if this ALLEGED story is even true...

He was not "pulled over" by Atlanta PD - he fled the United States after attempting to kill his daughter and another woman...went to Mexico and then flew to London where he was denied entry & sent back to the U.S. and apprehended.

He won't be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law if the reports are correct, he has only been charged with aggravated assault and is/was in the county jail...not sure if he made bail. More at our blog...this is not an isolated incident...

The actions of this man sicken me. What kind of person could murder there own daughter. There is no honor in cold blooded murder especially when its your own daughter. Shame on anybody who could possibly condone actions like this.YOU ARE NOT IN IRAQ ANYMORE YOU DISGUSTING SON OF A BITCH. CONGRATULATIONS ON DESTROYING YOUR FAMILY. I sincerely hope you see that any book of religion that encourages that kind of behavior is the reason why the middle east continues to be a place of misery and unrest. Get with with the damn program she was twenty years old. A young woman cut down during the best years of her life.I don't agree with adultery but, twenty year olds in general make stupid decisions and they are called learning experiences.

Why is it that when people get all teary-eyed about accepting other cultures, medieval practices like this are somehow overlooked?

I'm an Iraqi as well, I'm not traditional, and I'm way too "westernized" , If I have daughter , I will raise her on liberty and to be part of western culture and I ll respect her choices.

but, one have to say the truth, if that as* did such horrific crime in Iraq, he would find himself in jail as well. Iraqi laws prohibit honor killing, at some time, Iraqi laws did give lighter punishment, but that later changed. but now with the current situation in Iraq, those things probably happen and the criminals get away with it, unfortunately.

While I encourage everyone to condemn this crime, I do encourage you to try to get your government to make sure immigrants are more assimilated with western culture. at the same time, I encourage others to have faith in that some Iraqis are not barbaric like that, and actually love your culture and assimilated into it.

and to all other Iraqis, please behave. We don't want more sufferings. time to accept successful culture and more liberties, enough is enough. Upgrade

You all talk about a man trying to keep his honor and his society culture . But what about the peoples in Iraq killed by the American nobody wil punish them .

"American Salafi said:

She surely didn't deserve to die. But let me tell you about the killing in America how it is.

Dear Editor;
I was currently doing some research on “Honor Killings”, a topic I had chosen for a class assignment. I had begun writing my paper when a piece of my research led me to an article you had written in regards to the recent “Honor Killing” in Phoenix, Arizona.
My letter is in regards to a statement you made in your article, and I quote, “Someone better tell Faleh Hassan Almaleki he's not in Iraq anymore. In this country, we don't do honor killings. And we sure as hell don't try to kill our own daughters” (Koets, Pete. www.truecrimereports.com)
Before I continue with the reason I am writing you, I would first like to mention that I absolutely do not condone “honor killings” or any act of violence, I am not from Iraq, I am not of the Muslim faith, but I am from this country!
This father you have written about has truly committed a horrible act, but to say “he’s not in Iraq anymore” would be somewhat stereo-typical don’t you think? And to add “In this country we sure as hell don’t try to kill our own daughters” would just be a flat out lie!
“On January 22, 2004, in Atlanta, Georgia, a 6-year-old girl was found beaten and strangled to death and covered with pages torn from a Bible. The parents, who claimed they were "undemonizing her," were charged in her murder” (http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/criminal_mind/psychology/fathers_who_kill/4.html).The examiner reports on an American father who has been convicted for killing his 2 month old daughter, putting her little body into a trash bag. I’ve included this web-site as well in case you would like to read this for yourself. http://www.examiner.com/a-2308370~Father_pleads_not_guilty_to_killing_daughter.html .
How many countless times have we heard or read what some Fathers in America have done to their daughters…one doesn’t simply have to be from Iraq or any other foreign country for that matter…You may be correct in one statement, “we don’t do honor killings”. But, think of all the other types of killings that Americans have done…Killing for entertainment, killing because of divorce (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/407904.stm), revenge, passion, the list continues.
Don’t get me wrong, I Love America! I have traveled to many countries, but there is nothing like coming back home. I’m simply saying, to tell readers “it doesn’t happen in America” just wouldn’t be the truth; killing is killing no matter what name or category it falls into. And the truth of the matter is, It Does Happen In America!
(If I were writing this to someone who happened to be a friend, I wouldn’t change a word; my letter would remain just the way it is) This is who I am, what I say to one, I will say to all!

These people did not come here for our culture and way of living, they come here to change our culture and way of living. if they continue to keep being allowed in, they will eventually get into political power and they sure as hell will change things inthis country.
We must stop muslim imigration before it is to late and even return those that are in a highly educated professional job.
They are here and either supporting terrorist activitys are sypathizing with them, they openly recruit people towards their hate and killing and collect funds to send to extremist Muslim causes.
I call on our politicians to do whats right for America.America is all that counts not me not you. stop them now.

YOUSIF

most of the killing in Iraq are by other Muslims bombing their own people.
And we would not even be there if that stupid Sadam would have simple said..we have no weapons of mass destruction and I invite you in to inspect, in fact he would still be ruling.
And we also would not be in Afganastan if terrorist did not decide to plan and attack the twin towers which was planned by people in that country.
So get one thing straight..we are not in either place because we just wanted to go there and kill people we are there because of terrorist.. so put the blame where it belongs on the terrorist. and that is exactly the problem, why dont we see huge demonstrations thru out the world protesting these bombings and killings by these creeps that use religion as an excuse to kill.
I am not a all religious, but if I ever wanted to be. Muslim would be the last one I would choose.
I would be embarrassed to be that religion.
Sorry but thats the way they have made me be.

To IRAQI SAID

I have Respect for you.
If we could get more of you to speak up, maybe things could get to change as far as feelings.
As I said earlier we need more of you to speak out against the criminals and huge demonstrations and tell people to stop sending them money and support or some day their own family may even be in harms way.
