Sad, sad news tonight. Following up on the previous story about an Iraqi girl in Peoria, Arizona who was run over by her father because she was “too Westernised,” AP reports this evening that she has passed away,
A 20-year-old woman from Iraq whose father allegedly hit her with his car because she had become too Westernized has died from her injuries, authorities said.
Noor Faleh Almaleki had been in a local hospital since Oct. 20, when police say her father ran down her and her boyfriend’s mother with his Jeep as the women were walking across a parking lot in the west Phoenix suburb of Peoria.
Peoria police spokesman Mike Tellef said Noor died Monday. The other woman, Amal Khalaf, is expected to survive.
Family members said Faleh Hassan Almaleki believed his daughter had become too Westernized and was not living according to his traditional Iraqi values.
Faleh Almaleki fled after the attack but was arrested Thursday when he arrived at Atlanta’s airport, where he was sent from the United Kingdom after authorities denied him entrance.
Lampposts and rope were invented so as to deal with animals like this guy.
Do the give people in heaven turds and slingshots so they can torment their fathers in hell?
I guess that throws the aggravated assault charge out the window, I wonder how the courts are going to approach this from a PC stand point?
That is so, so sad.
@ Moe Katz:
Yes it is, very sad indeed.
@ Crusader Rabbit:
They need to check their traditional values at the border or not bother coming at all.
…guess I’ll try that again.
Prayers to the family–and for Dad, too. He still has a soul which might be saved (believe it or not)
@ Crusader Rabbit:
Now, don’t ewe feel sheepish for them valuers mixed up./
@ Crusader Rabbit:
The Christian family prays that their wayward child will turn to the Lord where has a Muslim family will kill their child for not submitting to their god.
I wonder how this is going to play in Rifqa Bary’s situation?
http://www.rifqabary.com/
@ Moe Katz:
Yeah, I think it would be really neat if people who come to live here would make some effort to understand the value system that made this country a place people want to live unlike the plethora of filthy muslim shit-holes that blight the earth.
@ Crusader Rabbit:
This is actually a common problem with progressives. Their homes are shitholes because of their values and the systems that they have in place. They get tired of it, and then move to a new area that is better. Then they start the process over. Islam and progressives are a cancer on society and they need to be removed, quickly. The more time we linger on the subject the harder the task becomes, and imho it’s damn near critical.

In all probability, nothing will happen for two reasons. First, the family is now living under a microscope and they would not do something so obvious. Second, the folks let her become a figgin’ cheerleader. They are westernized already. Chances are the girl was very impressionable and was influenced by the wrong people. The mom and dad are probably just happy to get their kid back.
@ calcajun:
I pray you’re right.
I expect her not to live to her 18th birthday.
@ linoleumknife:
Well I think Islam and the progressives are two very separate phenomena, though deluded progressives try to support the cause of radical Islam. At bottom, radical fundamentalist Islam is reactionary, an extreme social conservatism of a non-western nature. The incredible stupidity of the progressives lies in not recognizing that their humanistic values would be the first thing to go in the soup pot if the jihadists took over.
@ calcajun:
Walking away from Islam and professing that God has a Son is punishable by death in Islam.
@ Crusader Rabbit:
I don’t know why here family can’t respect her wishes and emancipate her immediately. To me that discredits their motives, whether they actually intend to harm her or not.
@ Moe Katz:
They can’t because there is no such thing in islam.
There is, however, a commandment to kill apostates.
They don’t have any interest in American laws except where those laws assist them in executing on such commandments.
Look what just happened to the girl in AZ. Her father killed her, this isn’t unusual in Islam.
@ Moe Katz:
There’s definitely a reactionary vein in a movement that insists against all evidence that a 150-year old doctrine that has failed disastrously every time it’s been tried is the wave of the future. Don’t kid yourself. There’s nothing new under the sun, at least on the left. Nothing but worn out tired old failures of ideas.
In particular, the environmental movement (and it’s sibling Malthusianism) is pure, 100% adulterated reactionaryism.
UNadultrated…
(where’s the edit button?)
@ snork:
But the jihadis are nonwestern socons. They hate globalization and Israel, so the leftards support ‘em.
@ Moe Katz:
Evening Moe. Well I don’t dispute that they are two seperate phenomena, but they are happy to use each other. The proggies are completely deluded to the fact that they will be put against the wall. The muslims look on them as ignorant pattsies. It’s sad really.
@ linoleumknife:
The leftards are totally nuts. Like nature lovers that try to befriend wild wolves.
@ linoleumknife:
Re: your point: Stalin’s term “useful idiots” comes to mind….
@ Moe Katz:
And my point is that in their own way, the progs are every bit as much “socons” as the jihadis, just representing a different conventionalism. They’re all about conserving what’s ‘theirs’ if they think it’s under attack.
@ Moe Katz:
Heh, or like that guy that went to film the bears in the wild. A year or so later and he snaps and thinks that the bears and him are buddies. I wonder how long it takes a bear to digest an entire human?
@ Moe Katz:
The left is terrified of the Muslims and think that if they would just be nice to them everything will be fine, has a matter of fact I think that the left would bow down to Islam in order to save their skins and have “peace”.
@ snork:
As you may suspect, you and I part company there. I do see overall moral progress in history, and I fervently want the world to see more, but I think conservatives must act as a brake on the moonbats to slow down, guide, rationalize, and so forth.
@ Moe Katz:
[to complete #26]
But since their ideas of ideal diverge, they will eventually (if we’re unfortunate enough for them to defeat everyone else) turn on each other. So the bottom is the same.
@ linoleumknife:
He said he would consider it an honor to end up as bear scat. So he got his wish
@ Moe Katz:
I think our differences are more semantic than anything. I don’t want to slow the moonbats down, I want to stop them. Progress isn’t in their direction; they’re simply arrogated the word. Progress needs to be more than a disingenuous buzzword.
@ davehm:
They think they have a common enemy and my enemy’s enemy is my friend…. globalization, western capitalism, Jews, America, etc.
@ Moe Katz:
LOL. Just a quick question. The left side of the website is cut off for me. How do I adjust that?
@ snork:
I do think the western world is gradually becoming a kinder and gentler civilization, all you need to do is look at some detailed history. And I welcome that process and fervently believe in it. But conservatives are more realistic than moonbats about human nature and more resistant to crazy illusions, so they are the ones who must steer the boat as much as possible.
Good to see the blogroll back.
/just noticed that
@ linoleumknife:
I’m not a PC hotshot on that particular level, but I’d say go into your browser’s screen settings and see what’s up.
@ Moe Katz:
Moonbats are not realistic on any level. They have no faith in man, but unlimited faith in government. That’s like saying that the devil is actually the good guy. It’s bonkers. The proggies hate individuals and are determined to lower all mankind to the level of sheep. They are a danger to everyone around them, including themselves.
@ Moe Katz:
That could be but I think fear has a lot more to do with it and on a smaller scale the presumption that people are inherently good which would lead a progressive type to try to reach out to them, Nick Berg comes to mind.
@ linoleumknife:
Yeah, see, that’s where I part company with most of you folks here. I’m missing the whole Republican belief system.
@ davehm:
Poor bugger, eh?
@ davehm:
Fear could be part of it, sure….
@ Moe Katz:
LOL, dude I’m not a Republican. I am conservative, and I am forced to vote Republican in most elections because there is no other option. Generally it boils down to do I vote for the idiot or the evil bastard who wants my whole paycheck. My problem with proggies is that they are the ultimate theif. They steal my hard earned dollars and I have no recourse to prosecute them. That money I have earned is a representation of my life. I have only so much time on this earth, and when I spend that time to provide for myself I am spending my life. When they take my money, they are taking part of my life. It is evil, and I have had my fill.
/LOL, rant off
Ugh, theif=thief
You can not legislate morality or charity. It has to come from the heart or it’s meaningless. That is one of the fundamental flaws in their world view.
@ linoleumknife:
I’m closer to Northern European conservatism, which sees a role for state authority and action. In European countries they get people as smart as the Wall Street MBA wonks going into public service, and it’s a highly honored calling. I’m completely agnostic about whether the market or government is the answer to any given problem. I realize this isn’t the traditional American culture.
Well, The Ponytailed One has a new breed of posters, that’s for sure:
Jon Stewart invited two guests who competed with each other in how much they despise Israel. One of them was a member of the Barghouti family in the “Palestinian” area and the other was a Jewish woman who is known for her hatred of Israel.
“Pleading for peace?”
The heckler was thrown out of Comedy Central for shouting “LIAR!!” at one of the guests.
Here’s the real scoop on what happened there:
Daily Show Duo Spread Lies About Israel
@ linoleumknife:
Well, that’s a kind of right-wing American shibboleth, but I think it’s quite debatable. Good prenatal care to poor pregnant women would lower the ridiculous infant mortality rates in states like TN, and I call that social justice and I don’t trust anyone to furnish it out of the goodness of their heart.
I’m off to bed, still trying to sleep off this cold, which isn’t going away as fast as it ought to.
‘Night all!
P.S. I DO use the phrase social justice and I’d happily defend it some other time.
@ Moe Katz:
Well as it is, I am probably even more stubburn than most typical American Conservatives on this issue. I’m a Texan and just like the people who risked everything to found America, we did just that as Texans. My lineage is traced back to some of the first people to settle in Texas and I try to carry that spirit.
@ Moe Katz:
I guess where I part company with you is concerning your blind faith in moral progress. I’m missing the whole idealist belief system.
I can see how people in 1909 might have been so optimistic, but after the horrors of the 20th century, it takes a tremendous leap of faith to believe in the inevitability of a kinder, gentle humanity.
I went over to another site to see their take on this. It used to be the main site that I would visit to find out more about the culture of the ROP(TM). Nothing. There is a story on the declining ice fields on Kilimanjaro, something that people first started discussing in the late ’80s. Since I cannot post there this is for the stalkers to report back on.
I first saw Kilimanjaro as a youngster and the first sight of it is burned in my memory. However, no one ever suggested that it is an extinct volcano, the the glacial loss may be due to the fact that the mountain may be warming up in anticipation another eruption. Another cause may well be that with the eradication of the tsetse fly there has been a massive increase in domesticated stock, notably cattle and goats, which have destroyed much of the natural vegetation in the surrounding plains and this has led to dust settling on the glaciers, which no longer reflect the sun and therefore melt. The declining ice cap on Kilimanjaro should not be used as evidence for global warming especially as there has been no discernible decline in the ice on other mountains in equatorial Africa, notably Mounts Kenya and Ruwenzori.
Back on topic, may her soul rest in peace and may her father, having done what he has done, live with what he has done.
@ wolfie:
I was on my way to bed, Wolfie, but here’s a brief drive-by. I think leaving the world a better place than we found it is our duty and our Judaeo-Christian core culture. As wise conservatives I think our calling is to steer the boat better than the hysterical lefties.
Hasta la vista
Moe
@ Moe Katz:
Well Moe, I know you are off to bed. Have a good night and get well. On the social justice part, Americans as a whole are extremely charitable. It is no business of the govenment to furnish that though. There are many privately run clinics that are funded by charity. Catholic hospitals are a great example. We have hundreds in America and they do a great job without the gobament getting involved.
Ah, Moondog, haven’t you heard the news??? The threat of Islamic terrorism has been contained. We don’t have to worry about it anymore!
“…there has been no discernible decline in the ice on other mountains in equatorial Africa, notably Mounts Kenya and Ruwenzori.”
That’s a key piece of information, I should think. I mean, if certain persons were open to debate on the subject.
@ Moe Katz:
I agree with that, Moe!
Get some sleep and kill that cold!
@ wolfie:
You are right, and I posted that for the benefit of stalkers.
What is the penalty for murder in Arizona?
@ Eliana:
Hey Eliana, how are you? Jon Stewart is about as bad as John F’n Kerry. I can’t not stand that asshat. GRRRRR!
@ Eliana:
Is that a quote from someone at 1.0 ?
That’s downright scary.
@ African Moondog:
Depending on how they charge the man, he could face the death penalty. It is obviously premeditated and aggravated.
@ African Moondog:
I do believe they have the death penalty, but I don’t know if it would apply in this case or not.
Have you seen pictures of that young woman? She was so beautiful.
@ linoleumknife:
Jon Stewart had one good moment a month or two ago when he ridiculed ACORN and the MSM for not exposing them.
Otherwise, he’s a jerk.
Putting two Israel-haters on his show to compete with each other in Israel hatred was over the top (even for him).
@ wolfie:
It’s the first comment in the Overnight Ocean Thread tonight.
Of course my knowledge of how their system works in Arizona is lacking. In Texas the prosecution will set the charges and the jury is responsible for convicting and sentencing the accused when the death penalty is involved. If the vote to execute is not unanimous then it will not be used.
@ Eliana:
Well American intelligence drops everytime that man speaks, imho. LOL I have no like of the man.
@ Eliana:
That is very disturbing.
But then, if you want a leftwing blog, you are bound to have a certain percentage of Palestinian sympathizers. It’s a sad fact.
@ linoleumknife:
In fact, the jury is responsible for sentencing the accused in any murder case. It is actually a very fair system. We have folks that in the process of protecting their property will kill the intruder. Instead of being sent to jail for life, they get to go home to their family. The left hates us for our use of the death penalty, but we are very judicious in using it. This year we have have executed 19 criminals so far. Here is a website that tracks them and tells you the reason in each case http://www.txexecutions.org/reports.asp
I went over to see the Puff Ho’s take on this story, the comments are predictable:
“I am watching a trial of a Christian mother accused of killing her children”, (Lady, I doubt if they were murdered in the name of Christianity)
“The Koran is the literal word of God sent by the Archangel Gabriel”, (Yadda, yadda, yadda)
“This tragedy has nothing to do with religion”, (Of course not!)
“It is all GWB’s fault”, (Naturally, who else? The father had nothing to do with it. GWB was on a drive to Arizona)
The Huffpo is full of comments about the first anniversary of Obama’s victory, not an event to be commemorated here. The posts are more sorrowful and regretful than triumphant. I tried to empathize because schadenfreude is a base and unworthy emotion. I tried very, very hard.

@ linoleumknife:
Just scoping out that list.
Normally I wouldn’t think killing one person during a store robbery would be a capital crime. If the guy got the death penalty, the murder must’ve been purely gratuitous and particularly vicious.
@ wolfie:
Yeah, like I said, the jury actually sets the penalty. If it was a really ugly crime they generally get justice. A big case I’ll never forget was Karla Faye Tucker. The first woman to be executed in Texas since 1863. Here is her wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carla_Faye_Tucker
It was a heinous crime. Her defenders were trying to claim she should be spared because she had found Jesus. That didn’t really convince the courts. Some might think me callous, but I was proud of my state on that night. Justice for the victims was served.
Too humane, a full blown sex change and parachute drop them neeked in the middle of Mecca during haj.
@ calcajun:
The whole ummah is watching too. I find it hard to be optimistic in that case.
Let’s pray I’m wrong.
@ calcajun:
I agree that it’s unlikely her life is in danger right now.
Of course, I once thought it unlikely that Charleton Heston could ever turn into a goofy-looking guy with fat cheeks. So you just never know.
@ wolfie:
How dare you disparge the great and mighty Charleton Heston. I will have your head for that you infidel.
/LOL just kidding, but I do love Mr. Heston. God rest his soul.
Agh, disparge=disparage
@ linoleumknife:
I remember that case. There was a lot of national, and even international, pressure to remit her sentence. Yes, you should be proud that Texas did was just and not what was “nice.”
@ wolfie:
Thank you. Even though I was only 15 at the time, I had a very strong opinion on the subject. My stance on the issue was that even though she repented and found Christ, it did not excuse the crime she had commited. The bible states clearly that the laws of the land must be upheld. I hope that God forgave her, but she still needed to answer for her crime.
@ linoleumknife:
Just teasing calcajun about his icon change!
How do’ folks. I have just 20 minutes to answer all of your questions.
@ linoleumknife:
Agreed. And let’s face it. We aren’t God and we can’t really tell what is going on in someone’s heart, can we? If you remit a sentence because of a jailhouse conversion, you can bet there will be a lot of fake conversions on death row!
I do sincerely hope her conversion and penitence were real and that she is therefore in a better place now.
Go.
@ wolfie:
Yes we can. Next question.

new thread
Faleh Almaleki fled after the attack but was arrested Thursday when he arrived at Atlanta’s airport, where he was sent from the United Kingdom after authorities denied him entrance.
Interesting that he fled to the UK! Instead to some Middle eastern hell hole refuge.
Doesn’t say much for the current state of health of the UK culture does it, when scumbag Islamists choose the UK as their bolthole!
@ Moe Katz:
Ahhh but THAT is the whole crux of the argument.
The Socialist Progressives think that they can use Islamists as their surrogate shock troops to harry the West. And the Islamist think that the Progressives are idiot infidels who are contributing to the Islamist end game and will be ‘taken care of permanently when they are of no further use harrying the West.
Both sides think that they are GAMING THE OTHER!
Someone is in for a nasty surprise!
There…fixed that for you!

I’ll vote for the “Islamist[s] think that the Progressives are idiot infidels.” The Progressives will end up being the useful idiots here.
