I don't get this:

The idea that a woman represents family "honour" is becoming central to Iraqi culture, and protecting that honour has cost many women their lives in recent months. Rape is considered so shaming to the family's honour that death - by suicide or murder - is needed to expunge it. --- "Is becoming"? It's only been a year. I doubt Iraqi culture is that malleable.
