I think this actually is true, because I was reading somewhere that in Qatar (which is a muslimg country), the people there are all quite wealthy, and there isn't a huge distinction between the rich and the poor, they have a middle class but no real poverty .
And everyone gets free housing, healthcare and university schooling and the people aren't opressed so they don't care much about being extremist or fundamentalist and don't want to die for Allah because they are content. If they were poor they would be more willing to die , but if you are happy and content and not miserable, what would you want to die for?
So that's an example of how a muslim can be peaceful as long as it's wealthy (with no extreme poverty or discontented lowe classes) and is somewhat democratic.
