Actually, most terrorists, especially leaders, come from prosperous families. Happy, I doubt it, but they are not poor. The myth of poverty causing terrorism has been disproven so many times as to not even be on the table as far as I'm concerned.

Maybe a better why to say it would be "Leaders of terrorist groups with their own agendas point to continuing poverty, blaming it on outsiders or other factors, as a means of targeting hate at the desired group and avoiding having their own failures brought into the light."
