"  The father of Noor Almaleki, the 20-year-old &amp;#039;honor killing&amp;#039; victim Editor at Large Abigail Pesta reported on in this month&amp;#039;s issue of Marie Claire (&amp;quot;An American Tragedy,&amp;quot; p. 98), will stand trial in Arizona for his daughter&amp;#039;s murder in just a few months. Iraqi immigrant Faleh Almaleki, 49, ran over his daughter with his Jeep Cherokee in October for being &amp;quot;too Westernized&amp;quot; -- Noor socialized with the opposite sex, wore jeans, and rebelled against her father&amp;#039;s desire for her to enter an arranged marriage. Faleh is now charged with first-degree murder, aggravated assault, and leaving the scene of a serious accident -- and he&amp;#039;s pleaded &amp;quot;not guilty.&amp;quot; Officials decided against seeking the death penalty for Almaleki back in February, but if he&amp;#039;s convicted during the trial (now scheduled to start this November), he&amp;#039;ll most likely spend the rest of his days in prison.  Our story struck a chord with readers everywhere, inspiring spirited discussion about the tragedy and the issue of &amp;#039;honor killings&amp;#039; on our site and nearly 600 comments on Jezebel.com (and more than that on the Huffington Post). Tell us your thoughts: Will you be following the trial? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
