Poverty can be linked to Religious Faith, Extremism, and Population increase. Unfortunately, for many Muslims, their areas of the world have tremendous poverty.
When you are poor, Faith is one of the things that can give you hope.
When you are poor, acts relating to "procreation" is one of the few joyous activities one can do for free. Most religions believe that having a large family is what the faithful are supposed to do. One may also note that having your body "medically altered", such as having a vasectomy or fallopian tubes tied is clearly forbidden in the Koran. Abortion is also considered in this same light.
When you are poor, one is more likely to be fanatical. In the case of suicide bombers, many of them have pretty terrible lives to begin with, so dying for you faith can be very attractive, especially when your Scriptures can be interpreted (by some) as rewarding those who do.
Catholicism is the largest Christian denomination; while partly related to history (and conformity) it should be noted that many impoverished majority Christian countries (esp. South and Central America) have mostly Catholic followers. Catholicism also has a ban on all forms of birth control, including condoms, medicinal solutions, altering your body, and, of course, on abortion. Supposedly pure Catholics believe that sex should only be used for pro-creation, and also have a ban on masturbation and homosexuality. Large families are also considered to be a sign of faithfulness.
The Mormons actually have similar beliefs to the Catholics--however, they are mostly middle and upper class; thus there has not been a huge surge in their population.

Islam is transforming into faster than Christianity because Muslims have more beneficial little ones and in view that Muslims do not settle for that any plausible depart Islam, so each and every of the Muslim converts to Christianity are counted as Muslims quite than Christians. There are circumstances dealing with Egyptian courts the position human beings attempt to get their registered faith replaced from Muslim to Christian and in India a lot of human beings are suffering less than anti-conversion guidelines and Hindu fundamentalists. also some childrens (especially women) were forcibly switched over to Islam - i.e. abducted, raped, compelled into marriage with a Muslim guy and then counted as a Muslim, and little ones of those rapes counted as Muslim (This has been documented as happening in countless places in North Africa, especially Sudan and northerly Nigeria).

1 - You kindly said "poor Muslims", Thank you, but, we KNOW that we are the lucky ones, not the poor ones, we invite you to join us.
2- As for "Poverty" that is a differant question, that may breed terrorism, but then that applies to all poverty stricken nations, Chinees, VietNamese, Mexican.....etc. i.e. that does not come with religion but with anti-greed, anti-exploitation, anti-occupation and quest for real global equality not Polar Globalism with shining promises. i.e. that comes with politics, and by the way:
- - -Terrorism is very expensive activity it can not come from impoverished people.
3 - sorry for taking much of your time but I hope you ponder on those thaughts.
Good luck

Check your facts first before assuming all Muslims are terrorists. Are all Christians like Jeffrey Dahlmer et al? And have you checked out our own neighborhood in the welfare district? Wow, we won't even help our own but you're quick to attack a people you don't know.

The same reasons christians have so many babies they can't support. Their religion has stupidly instructed them that Birth Control is evil.
