The whole "raped women bring shame on the tribe" thing really isn't Islamic at all. In fact, the Qur'an has a passage <a href="http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=578144">specifically opposing the murder of infant girls</a> as a preemptive prevention for this sort of thing; presumably, and I'm no Qur'anic scholar, that extends to not killing them later on.
It's a pre-Islamic Bedouin-tribe thing. Scapegoat, scapegoat, I know.
