Kill this son-of-a-pig

The guy in the picture is Faleh Hassan Almaleki. He looks like a fairly normal, kind of nerdy guy doesn’t he?

In October, 2009 he murdered his lovely daughter Noor, by running her over with an SUV. As a journalist, I’m supposed to say “allegedly.”

Oh please, he did it in broad daylight, in front of witnesses, and made no attempt to deny it. In point of fact, he justified it as being entirely right and proper by his lights. And it wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment thing. There was a long set-to of threats and stalking beforehand. In fact, the autocide happened in the parking lot of the state Department of Economic Security office in Peoria, outside Phoenix.

You see, Noor disgraced the family “honor.” It appears she wanted to live a normal life. You know, work at a job, date, get married to a guy she knew – rather than a guy back in Iraq her father picked.

On Monday Faleh is going on trial for murdering his daughter, and attempting to murder her boyfriend’s mother.

Presumably the couple were going to see what the authorities could do for the girl.

Well, as it turns out – nothing. But now she’s dead, they can do something.

Make sure the son-of-a-whore dies for this. And while we’re at it, can we try her mother as an accessory? That’s almost always the case in these “honor killings.”

I’m putting “honor killings” in scare quotes because this culture, these people, have no honor. They foul the word by uttering it. Murdering your daughter proves your culture is worse than barbaric, it is an obscenity that we cannot, must not EVER tolerate in our land.

An innocent girl, willing to live by our laws, trusted herself to the protection of our law. We failed her. But we can avenge her.

And before he dies, stuff his mouth with bacon and wrap his body in pig skin. Inject pigs blood into him with a syringe. Bury him in a pig yard.

We know he has no honor. The question is, do we?
