On the contrary, surprisingly enough, it does not seem to be the case that poverty causes terrorism--either within a country (poorer people aren't more likely to become terrorists) or between countries (people from poorer countries aren't more likely to become terrorists).

Thanks for the links, I found the OP's message just insulting to the poor people. Those who pull the strings of terrorism are well usually off and with a political agenda that couldn't care less about poverty.
