I'm sorry but stabbing someone over a single text message is not cultural difference, is idiocy.

Honor culture makes people do weird and terrible things. The American cultural version would be the same thing but with a gun.

No matter how much I typically despise American culture, killing people (no matter by which means) over prostitution in an antecedent does not appear to be a part of it.

Please classify the idiotic and non-idiotic reasons for killing an former lover.

At least you can defend yourself in that case. For comparison in USA you can go to jail for life if FBI drops a picture on your computer.

"A single text" is an absurd reductionism.

People suffer worst than death over words all the time, even in the West. Some folks adhere to honour, some to political groups and ideologies, some religion, some to their social views; there are words that are treated as violence and responded to accordingly in every context.

Accordingly would be with (violent) words.

Could you tell us where you're from, anyhow?

It's like a Reddit relationships post, it's highly unlikely the single text message was the whole issue.
