Well, it’s about time:
PEORIA, Ariz. – An Iraqi immigrant has been arrested in Georgia for allegedly running down his daughter because she was becoming “too Westernized,” police in a Phoenix suburb say.
Police in Peoria released few details, but said 48-year-old Faleh Almaleki was in custody. They would not say where he was being held.
Almaleki was arrested Thursday when he arrived at Atlanta’s airport, said Jim Joyner, a spokesman for the U.S. Marshals Service in Atlanta.
Twenty-year-old Noor Faleh Almaleki was hospitalized in serious condition.

Police spokesman Mike Tellef said family and friends of the victims told detectives that the father had threatened his daughter because of her lifestyle and that she was not living according to their traditional Iraqi values.
Apparently, those “traditional Iraqi values” include attempting to murder your daughter.
