RE: Wonder why a guy like this only gets 34 years in prison

I see the irony now. That's a good point.

Islam is a religion of hate and this is just one more example.

I could go with an honor spanking, an honor grounding, an honor ass-chewing maybe, but honor killing is just an oxymoron if it involves killing a child who disobeys.

Does anyone else see irony in an Iraqi American's use of a car to commit an honor killing of child for becoming too American? disbelief There are some seriously confused values and circumstances going on. Move to America and be afraid of Americanization. Use a car, which depends on middle eastern oil to run, and which Americans are addicted to, as an instrument of death for a muslim child being too American.

From the left: Muslims are special and we must respect their traditions, even going so far as to bend our own laws to accomodate them.

From the right: Muslims are animals who cannot be expected to behave in a civilized manner.

If you cannot or will not accculturate, leave the country.

It is just that simple.

Faleh Almaleki moved his family from Iraq to the Phoenix suburb of Glendale in the mid-1990s. He wanted his daughter to adhere to Iraqi traditions, but she wanted to be a typical American girl, according to court records and her close friends.

At 17, she refused to enter an arranged marriage in Iraq, enraging her father, according to a court document filed by prosecutors.

At 19, Noor Almaleki moved into her own apartment and began working at a fast food restaurant but quit after her parents kept showing up at her work, insisting she return home, the document said.

Later in 2009, she moved in with her boyfriend and his parents, Reikan and Amal Khalaf, after saying her parents had hit her.

The document said that Faleh Almaleki regularly harassed his daughter and the Khalafs, once telling Reikan Khalaf that if his daughter didn't move out of their home, "something bad was going to happen/"

But eleven women are on death row for killing their children:
