No one says that outright but poverty and violent extremism are pretty closely linked. Its not the only factor ofc, and youll always have outliers, but comfortable people with things worth losing are less likely to do something to endanger that.

Income inequality and violent crime are linked. Absolute poverty is tolerable to the psyche so long as everyone is in the same boat.
This was a suicide, not violent extremism.
