What's Wrong With This Picture?

Yesterday CNS News posted a story from Phoenix, Arizona, about Faleh Almaleki, a 48-year-old Iraqi immigrant, who used his Jeep Cherokee to run down his daughter and another woman in a Peoria parking lot Oct. 20 because his daughter had become too Westernized.  The killing is described as an 'honor killing.'

According to the article:

"Faleh Almaleki is charged with first-degree murder, aggravated assault and two counts of leaving the scene of a serious accident.

"He has pleaded not guilty to all charges." 

Mr. Almaleki will not face the death penalty.

When a person immigrates to this country, he is free to practice his religion, but when some aspect of that religion (murder or honor killing) violates United States law, he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.  Honor killings are happening with increasing frequency across this nation, and the American court system needs to send a loud and clear message that this is unacceptable.
