as somebody else pointed out (possibly you) it's not the multi-millionaires who are blowing themselves up. They are power-mongers who take advantage of the grievances of the ordinary people to convince a small number of deluded people into blowing themselves and others up. The British and other Western Muslims who blow themselves up are just straightforward idiots. By addressing the actual grievances of the ordinary people you can stop them producing terrorists in significant quantities, and the multimillionaire power-mongers will just have to go back into politics and big business to get their kicks.
