muslim gets special treatment despite killing daughter

[ayin jade]

This really disturbs me.

Prosecutors say a Glendale father accused of running down and killing his daughter in what was described as an "honor killing" will not face the death penalty.

Maricopa County prosecutors announced the decision Thursday in the case against 48-year-old Faleh Almaleki. His attorney asked a judge to take special precautions to ensure that prosecutors wouldn't seek the death penalty because Almaleki is a Muslim.

Almaleki is accused of using his Jeep Grand Cherokee to run down his daughter, Noor Faleh Almaleki, 20, and her friend, 43-year-old Amal Edan Khalaf, in a parking lot in Peoria on Oct. 20.

I would put him in Jail even if it was His relgion. This is not a muslim country, the must obey the law in this country.

In the end it doesn't matter...the satan worshipper/murderer will have to face the real God. Maybe we should pray that he repents before it's too late. We have to think too that, if the two girls were muslims, he sent them to hell.

Amen

Let us hope he repents.

We know what will happen else ...

As for the Prosecutor. He has opened the gate to Hell,

For future earthly judgments will use this as precedent.

Good call! I felt kind of guilty after thinking about what I wrote.. but you gave a good reply. Let's pray!

I agree with you jade, that the death penalty should have been sought in this case, first because it was admiited by the father that he delberately planned to kill his daughter, which is pre-meditated first degree murder. Second, because there is the aggravating circumstance, that, under american law, killing someone because of their religious beliefs(in this case being "insufficiently Muslim") is a "hate crime". I add also that hte second women injured was not a member of his family/clan, and therefore he is also in violation of Sharis law as well...

I join you in praying for this man's redemption, Blien. And I just realized that it wasn't two girls, but his daughter and an older woman (who survived). Regardless, the outcome is the same. May the Lord open this man's eyes and unfreeze his heart....he ran down his own daughter; how much more evil and depraved can a person be? He had the presence of mind to flee the country too; so much for 'honor'.

This has less to do with his religion and in reality much more to do with international relations. He was extradited from the UK and one of the conditions we impose on extraditions is that the accused will not face the death penalty.

I think the real issue is that he is getting leniency because of his faith. That should never happen. Regardless of anyone's views on the death penalty, the guy shouldn't get leniency because he believes his religion tells him that this is honourable.

For what it's worth, there is an American in jail in Queensland at the moment, for murdering his wife while on honeymoon in Australia. Australia has also refused to cooperate with the American authorities unless the death penalty is taken off the table.

It's an international relations nightmare. I'm an Aussie, but it's none of my business what you guys do with this man when he has paid his dues here. Just as, I'm sure, you don't want to be told what to do in your country either.

Paul the Apostle recognised this. When you are in another country, you are under their laws. So behave or pay the penalty, whatever that penalty is, regardless of whether you agree with the penalty or not.

Nope. He absolutely was NOT extradited from the U.K. He attempted to enter your country, flying from Mexico, and was refused entrance. He was then sent back to the U.S. and was arrested on a first degree murder warrant when he deplaned in Atlanta, Georgia. There was, therefore, no deal to take the death penalty off the table since he was never detained in Britain. That decision was made by the prosecutor in charge of his case.
