An Arizona judge sentenced an Iraqi immigrant on to more than 34 years in prison. His crime was running over his 20-year-old daughter because he claimed she'd become "too Westernized." The family moved to the Phoenix area in the mid-1990s, and Almaleki was unhappy with his daughter's style of dress and her resistance to his rules, according to police. Almaleki made no effort to stop before she and Noor Almaleki were struck. After the incident, Almaleki drove to Mexico, abandoning his vehicle in Nogales, police said. To me this is an action of cowardness and self pity. He needs to open his mind that if he lives in America, his daughter has a high chance of becoming westernized. I can understand that he wants her to obey traditions but killing your own daughter goes beyond the cause. He deserves more than 34 years because he tried to run away from his crime. I know not all immigrants are like this but if your coming to America and living here, you should at least appricate the culture. If he didn't want her daughter to become American, then why come live in a nation you hate.
