This is true of most anti-liberal ideologies, not just Islam(ism). It is the educated people with more time on their hands who usually feel dissatisfied with consumer society, and who like to think of how to change or overturn it. By contrast, most poorer people are just interested in survival and (insofar as they can) enjoyment. A good book to explain this mindset is Occidentalism by Ian Buruma and Avishai Margalit. This notion that religious fundamentalists, communists or fascists mostly come from the "wretched of the Earth" is a ludicrous myth.

Educated ?
It's very weird to me, because I oftentimes encounter Muslims who try to be seen as "intellectuals" yet fully believe many backward beliefs and theories that seem incompatible with modern life. Many of them try to tell me how the Muslim world was among the most advanced in science and technology, yet at the same time think it's wrong for a woman to show any skin and to do anything else other than producing babies.--Swarty_syndicate
Liberals think they are educated and think certain beliefs are backward but they are myopic. Better educated nowadays means being brainwashed for the most part :
Free Thought and Official Propaganda" is a speech (and subsequent publication) delivered in 1922 by Bertrand Russell on the importance of unrestricted freedom of expression in society, and the problem of the state and political class interfering in this through control of education, fines, economic leverage, and distortion of evidence.

Truth does not reside in the scientific world since it is inductive and always changing. The prevailing modern conventional wisdom is a fad and delusion like other periods of history.
For instance , the idea of men and women being equal seems to be bullshit meant to feminize men making it easier for government beaurocrats to manipulate them.
Also, racism is currently like sex was during the Victorian era. It stupid to think future generations will necessarily look back and think liberals are correct on racial issues. They might but they probably won't
Truth actually only exists in the field of pure mathematics and applied mathematics is a little more problematic but applied mathematics is not so flattering to minorities etc...I am getting off topic here because you are smug liberal who assumes all other beliefs are backwards meanwhile you are not doing pure mathematics so you are talking complete nonsense here.
