Remember the case in which Faleh al-Maleki, an Iraqi-American father brutally ran over his daughter, Noor, in Arizona, then attempted to escape but was apprehended in Britain and returned to face justice?
Guess what’s just happened? The Arizona prosecutors have been scared off seeking the death penalty. Public defender Billy Little raised the specter of “How will it look for Christians to execute a Muslim?”
I kid you not.
Billy Little asked the judge to “take special precautions to ensure the County Attorney’s Office wouldn’t wrongly seek the death penalty because Almaleki is a Muslim.” Little called for an “open process (to) provide some level of assurance that there is no appearance that a Christian is seeking to execute a Muslim for racial, political, religious or cultural beliefs,” referring to County Attorney Andrew Thomas’ Christian faith.
Keeping in mind that I’m opposed to the death penalty, I’m still upset that a American prosecutor would eschew imposing a certain penalty out of fear for a bad Moslem reaction to it. We are not a Moslem nation – “honor killing” your daughter is not something we recognize as a legitimate action, nor are concerns for religious scruples a mitigating circumstances in such a barbaric action. If this is Islam, then the whole thing should be banned in the United States.
It is time – and past time – that we started dealing with this social blight with courage. Islam is what it is and the real world is what we live in. Lets face the fact that as people who are considered such a pollution we cannot enter Islam’s holiest city, there is nothing we can do to “offend” Moslems. We are an offense to them – at least to those who might attempt to use an execution for murder as just one more bogus excuse to seek further murder of Americans.
