The reason for the argument about islam in the first place is that in islam this perverted view has gained more traction. That has to do with backwardness, poverty, colonialism and a negative sense of self worth.

The background of the Islamist radicals that have been caught doing terrorist deeds says something else, the vast majority coming from the upper middle class. IMO all you mentioned above are side issues. What we really have in the ME are the results of brain washing fundament madrass's that have been sprouting up throughout the ME for the last 20 years. IMO they also contribute to keeping the populace in it's present condition of backwardness and poverty.
