Honor Killing Conviction, Phoenix Arizona

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Iraqi immigrant Faleh Hassan Almaleki has been convicted of an honor killing, where he ran over his own daughter in a suburban Phoenix parking lot for "bringing the family dishonor by becoming too Westernized."

The defense called no witnesses. They argued for a lesser charge, saying Almaleki made a split-second decision that he should be held accountable for but that he did not intend to kill anyone.

To avoid arrest, Almaleki fled to Mexico and then London, where he was detained and then returned to the U.S.

Just another example of Islam inching its way into our society.
