Peoria, Arizona, police said Wednesday that Faleh Hassan Almaleki, 48, struck his 20-year-old daughter, Noor Faleh Almaleki, and her friend Amal Edan Khalaf with a vehicle he was driving in a parking lot Tuesday afternoon.

Faleh Hassan Almaleki was angry with his daughter "as she had become too 'Westernized' and was not living according to [the family's] traditional Iraq[i] values," Peoria police said in a statement released Wednesday.

Noor Faleh Almaleki is hospitalized with life-threatening injuries, according to the statement. Khalaf, 43, received injuries that are not life-threatening but is still in the hospital, police said.

Noor Faleh Almaleki lives with Khalaf, police said.

Faleh Hassan Almaleki was last seen in a gray or silver Jeep Grand Cherokee, police said.

No further details were immediately available.

I suppose he’ll stone her if she smiles at her boyfriend, too.

Well, one can surmise that Hassan Almaleki is Muslim.

Muslims are supposed to believe that Muhammad lived the perfect life, and that his life should be emulated by the faithful.

Muhammad married a 9 year old, consummated when she was 12, had multiple wives, was illiterate and ultimately became a warlord.

So presumably Hassan Almaleki faults his daughter for learning how to read and write, for not marrying at 9 and having sex with her adult husband when she turned 12 and for not sharing her husband with at least one other girl or woman.

All she did, it seems, is date someone 20 years her senior. Oops - that’s enough to make any father homicidal.

Lovely. So civilized.
