That's an interesting belief - and I note you don't have evidence for it - but I'm reminded of the recent report that universities in the UK are hotbeds for religious extremism and of the fact that the younger generations of Muslims (assumed to be integrated and higher educated than their parents and grandparents) are more radicalized than older generations of Muslims.
And doing a quick search on google, I find an article by John Esposito and Dalia Mogahed explaining radicals are more educated than their moderate counterparts:
It's no secret that many in the Muslim world suffer from crippling poverty and lack of education. But are radicals any poorer than their fellow Muslims? We found the opposite: There is indeed a key difference between radicals and moderates when it comes to income and education, but it is the radicals who earn more and who stay in school longer.

What's also interesting is that I am unaware of similar attempts to 'educate' other communities to decrease extremism and promote moderation. I can't possibly figure out the reason why one group is being singled out and targeted when the stats show how peaceful they are compared to the Irish, for instance.
