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 Myspace 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.
