Faleh Hassan Almaleki Ran Over His Daughter
October 22, 2009 by Morbid
Peoria, Arizona – Police are looking for 48-year-old Faleh Hassan Almaleki for what he has been accused of doing to his daughter. Reportedly upset over his 20-year-old daughter becoming too “Westernized” and straying a bit too far from their Iraqi family values – he ran her over with his vehicle. Noor Faleh Almaleki was walking with Amal Edan Khalaf, 43, in the Arizona Department of Economic Security parking lot when she was struck. Almaleki is currently in the hospital suffering from life-threatening injuries. Khalaf received non life-threatening injuries. Police say the two women are roommates. I’m sure this has all been a complete misunderstanding and no way could it have been an attempted honor killing.
Here is the daughter from a pic taken off her MyspaceMySpace
profile. And once again, she is a hottie. I say once again because if you click on the three other “honor killing” stories we have posted about here, you will see they always seem to involve a father and his hot daughter(s). Not saying that ugly daughters have not been killed throughout time, but here in the United States, it seems as if they always involve good-looking women.
Or maybe honor killing stories are subject to the same guidelines most missing person and murdered children stories are in the United States. The victims must be female, white and cute\hot. But I think it is just population statistic; the population of Middle Eastern families are not as high in the US as in other countries.
Take the UK for example, it is reported that over a dozen women are victims of honor…er, honour killings every year. So while these incidents may be rare in the US, you can bet they are on the rise.

i suppose we can chuck this story on top of the mile-high pile of evidence that shows how religion is the worst scourge mankind has ever shackled itself with. unbelievably, muslims seem to piss me off EVEN MORE than christians. that takes talent.

hey TLL, honor killing is actually more of an arab cultural phenomenon than a specifically muslim thing. arab christians also (less frequently) kill their daughters to restore honor to the family.
the arab culture pisses me off even more than the american one, and that takes A LOT of talent.

Nice brainbucket dude! If you have a big head isn’t your brain supposed to be bigger? If so you think he would use it and not try to ya know run over his daughter.

Honor killing especially children is very definitely Muslim
Other honor killers, kill wives and BF, GF, but your #1 honor child disowner, killer is your friendly nonviolent Muslim Family member. Muslims not only honor kill their children but they usually make it a family event with aunts, uncles and other offspring involved

Absinthe, thanks for pointing that out.
Saying that honor killing is specifically Muslim is kinda like saying that spanking in America is specifically Christian because America is predominently Christian and most Christian leaders support spanking.
Honor killings is a cultural, not religious, phenominon. No where in the Qur’an does it advocate killing children to restore honor to the family and, as Absinthe also pointed out, the practice is performed by Muslims and Christians in the Middle East. Of course, it’s also practiced in places in Africa and Indonesia, too.

You can interpret the bible, Qur’an, Torah, any religious book to mean anything you want
just depends on the sect or as I prefer nut cluster you want to belong to
most of the religious books tell one person not to kill, while another interpretation is to kill
I’ve had a hard time finding anything really specific, not open to deferent interpretations in any of those books
Honor killing is cultural to Arabs ( killing immediate family members) which happen to be predominately muslim

Honor killings seem so dishonorable.

I know that we make a lot of tasteless jokes and comments on DD, but personally, I prefer that they apply only to the perpetrators, not the victims. Especially when the tasteless joke is 100 percent a shot at the victim and doesn’t even acknowledge the person who ran her over.
I’m going to have to rate this one “JOKE FAIL.”

I really despise this fucker of a “father.” I wonder if the coward tried to flee the country? I remember a prominent honor killing story a few years back where the father stabbed both of his daughters to death in his car and then fled, and he still hasn’t faced justice. I really hope that will not be the case here.
I love how the burden of maintaining the family’s “honor” is always on the women. How very convenient. That anyone has to die for a fucking abstract concept just makes me sick. Seriously, asshole, no one cares what your daughter is doing but you and possibly other males in the family. How is that a threat to your family’s honor? What, too logical for you? Nevermind.
*barf*

They even did an Unsolved Mysteries show (or something along those lines) on that crime. Maybe it was even a movie…..not sure, but I remember it being very specific.

Added her picture from her Myspace profile

Yeah, I bet we watched the same show. I remember being enraged for an entire day after I saw it. Morbid is probably onto something, those girls were really beautiful too.
Please update as more information comes in. I really hope this girl makes it. It’s amazing she’s not already dead.
1:52 pm on October 22nd, 2009
The joke was intended to make fun of the father’s ideals in his backwards mindset and how those ideals are applied to how he views Western culture. It was made in his perspective, to demonstrate the culturally obtuse view his logic holds in justifying his horrifying crime. I’m not making fun of what happened to her, only callously trying to point out the father’s archaic view of life. Personally, I think she’s hot and would love to “Westernize” her myself…

athena and abinthe,
i know that honor killing is not a muslim practice. this story simply aroused my normally dormant smug atheist asshole mood. however, when you get right down to the heart of the matter, the various belief systems ARE the cause of the violence. i stand firm on what i said (though perhaps not HOW i said it), religion is, and has always been, mankind’s greatest setback to progress and peace.

honor killing children especially female
is mainly a muslim practice
Seems at least 9 out of 10 honor killing (female children) is done in the name of islam
http://www.irfi.org/articles/women_in_islam/honor_killings_in_the_name_of_re.htm
Since our broadcast last night, we have received numerous emails and phone calls from people worried that a report on how brutally women are treated in parts of the Muslim world may be a criticism of the religion of Islam. It is not. Nothing in Islam demands the murder of women suspected of immoral behavior.
But it is true that countless fundamentalist Muslims, and in some parts of the world other religious groups as well, believe that the behavior of their women must be strictly controlled, and they believe even the appearance of a woman’s misbehavior spells death or else the men in the family will be dishonored. . . .

Biteme – I don’t know that you’re able to grasp the difference between a theologically-driven practice and a culturally-driven practice. Again, if it was Islam that created the problem, the problem would be limited to Islam, and could be traced back to its religious literature. It’s not.
the.left.lane – The various belief systems are not usually the cause of violence, they are simply a tool – an excuse. We are animals. We are going to fight no matter what, just like ant colonies will war despite the lack of belief systems. We fight over two major, closely related things – territory and resources. Even the jihads associated with terrorists, the root cause of the controversy is western meddling in middle eastern politics – a territory issue. Things get blurred when God is brought into the equation, but don’t be fooled… it’s just being used to drum up support for a war that has nothing to do with religion. When religion is absent, some other excuse is found. In America, it’s often “nationality”. We are social creatures. We will always find a flag to unite – and war – under.
On the individual level, evil people do evil things. Religion rarely drives them to do so; if they didn’t have their religion to hide behind, it would be something else.
As an atheist myself, I agree that religion is a net negative in terms of its impact on humanity. But I’m also cognizant of the fact that it isn’t always a tool for oppression, bigotry and violence. It’s also been a tool for education and philanthropy throughout the ages.

Well said, Athena.
Really what she say exactly? Sounded like lawyer talk, went in every direction and looped back to the middle
Athena, I do love the way you phrased it all, and I always agree with you to a certain extant. But in the end Muslims for whatever reason still lead in the child, especially female, honor killing category
6:50 pm on October 22nd, 2009
So Athena said this:

Looks like she was right. Here is the key to what you’re missing, biteme, though I suspect it may be futile:

It’s a COINCIDENCE, Biteme. Is obesity Christianity’s fault because the rates of obesity are significantly higher in a lot of predominently Christian nations? Of course not.

Now you’re bringing genetics, environment, latitudes and longitudes into the discussion, that’s just not fair.
Just because there’s more obesity in cold climates than hot and Muslims avoid the northern hemisphere, bet there’s a higher rate of obesity in Alaskan Muslims than those closer to the equator.
Don’t have any stats to fall back on, but I’d bet on it. And if you do find Muslims up there bet they’re more prone to honor killing than anyone else.
Athena, you’re always fun and enlightening.

9:23 pm on October 22nd, 2009
thanks athena.
biteme, i was making observations on the disgusting practice of honor killing based on my academic background and my own personal relationships and experiences. believe me, maltreatment of women – justified by “cleansing the family’s honor”- is by no means solely perpetrated by muslims, unfortunately. it is an arab cultural atrocity. this notion of HONOR is significant to arab (and to some extent, turkish and persian) society, not to muslim doctrine.
i’m not a fan of islam or muslims by any means. but i would be remiss if i didn’t make this clear.
and yes, arabs are predominately muslim, but the large native christian community tends to have a proportionately larger impact on certain cultural aspects, as they are generally better educated and involved in media and politics. and i have seen cases of honor killings even in highly educated, christian arab family. it is simply a barbaric, archaic custom that probably predates islam itself.
9:25 pm on October 22nd, 2009
noor is fucking HOT!
wonder why she was living outside the family home in the first place?
1:37 am on October 23rd, 2009
athena -
very good points. resources and territory are major (if not THE major) causes of war. however, despite the fact your point especially rings true for our current conflicts, it doesn’t necessarily dethrone religion as the leading cause of murder throughout human history. i can’t make this claim with full certainty, but i would be interested to see those figures.
in any case, we are splitting hairs. we fall on the same side in the big picture.

These “honor killing” articles always send a chill down me. I suppose it’s because I always wonder what goes through the victims’ minds as the men who are supposed to love and care for them are killing them. How would I feel if the last thing I ever saw was my father and/or brother as he tried to kill me? And for what? Deviating from the family’s culture, i.e. embarassing them? (My gods, if that had been the case with my family, I would have been “honor killed” half a lifetime ago!)
What I always have a hard time understanding about these killings is that no one forced these families to move to another country (in this case, the US) They chose to move, to settle in another place. When you relocate, there’s always a big chance that you, or at the very least, your family members, will assimilate with the surrounding culture. I feel that if you can’t handle that, then don’t relocate. I’m all for respecting various cultures–to a point. When adhering to certain cultural values clashes with a country’s laws, then those values need to either be put aside or the person needs to move back to the country of his origin.
12:46 pm on October 23rd, 2009
It’s much more than that. Not counting the fact that women are treated as property (which religion does have a hand in) so that men can treat them as such when angered, a family that has someone who has tarnished a family’s honor is “blacklisted” by others in the community.
For example, if a woman is raped – the honor of her entire family is now whacked. That means that none of her sisters can get married as no man would marry a woman from a dishonored family. So that leaves the family with an interesting dilemma. No honor-killing = family unable to survive or honor killing = clean slate for everyone.
But to put it into a more “Western” perspective, churches to this day practice excommunication. Christians are aware of the “Mark of Cain” or even “the Scarlett Letter”, or the practices of exile, banishment,and just plain old public shaming that all went far past the individual that did the deed(s) as the public ire transferred to their associations and relatives as well.
The only real difference being that the accepted practice of getting back into the good graces of your community didn’t involve having the “shamed” individual murdered.

In Japan they use Bukkake as a public shaming…Just thought I’d throw that into the conversation…

No they don’t
Maybe not, but certainly would be more enjoyable and entertaining than honor killing
Would make the arabic culture more acceptable to many of us

Well. Hello there!
Wait, wait, wait…just give me a moment. Have to put on my hijab and ask baba if I might partake in a conversation that may or may not include single men of no relation to myself. Ah, hold on, my ak-47 magazine belt is on a bit too tight today. I’ll be with you in one moment!

You stated that in Japan they use it as a form of public shaming – as in they are doing it present day. Which they do not. But regardless, as you pointed out, there is no historical evidence of bukkake being used as a form of public shaming.
9:33 pm on October 23rd, 2009
I love how convos on D’D go from discussing the cultural roots of honor killing, to the origins of bukkake.
8:38 am on October 24th, 2009
Any updates on how the daughter is? I really hope she can recover…
9:49 am on October 24th, 2009
I hope she is okay too.
Very true. Bukkake, like many other forms of Japanese pornography, including tentacle porn, likely grew out of the longstanding governmental moratorium against genitalia being depicted. Since genitals and penetration were not permitted, pornographers turned to depicting other sexual actions that would not need to be completely hidden by mosaic.
The Wikipedia article isn’t all that bad as a jumping off point for learning more. I’m no expert, of course, but I am a Japanese/Pysch major who just got back from Japan, so I do feel a little qualified seconding Morbid’s assertion.

Yes, probally true. But I also had a history professor once tell me that the only two questions people have fought over are, “How much do you love me?” and “Who’s in charge?”

honor killing shomomor killing. maybe if we took the word ‘honor’ out of it we could get a grasp on what it really is. Your a woman, You pissed me off, now im gonna off you. hummm…i wonder why there aren’t any men ever being ‘honor’ killed. Fucking assholes. and as far as Bukkake is conserned, if it was being used to shame people (gigglesnort) i think it would get a lot of agression out of men (gigglesnort) that might other wise go off the deep end and ‘honor’ kill.

Her brother said that she is still unconscious and making spontaneous movements. The father is still at large – although they did say he tried to call the hospital and his wife hung up on him.
8:36 am on October 26th, 2009
Could someone let his wife know, that in the western world, we like to know where the criminals are when they call so we can arrest them?

instead of sending soldiers to iraq we should have them here building the worlds biggest tazer , then simply point the tazer at iraq and zap those crazy little sheet heads!

I would love to zap racists like you.
