The theory was basically that Muslims are pissed at the injustice:

The Middle-East has so much ancient history, it has ancient cultures and civilization. Muslims have the best religion in the world... And yet the decadent infidels have all the economic success and luxuries and freedoms while the Middle-East is stuck with poverty, inequality and dictators.

Something is going wrong. How come that Muslims live in poverty despite having the correct religion? There is only one answer: The infidels are cheating. The solution is to believe harder.
