Islam exists in many places where those factors presently exist.

Oh absolutely but surely that still begs the question of why said dictator/community leader was attracted to Islam in the first place. There are bad apples as leaders in all faiths (as well as in those who don’t have any faith) but they don’t appear to use other religions/beliefs to attract the nutters.
With white supremacists the clue is in the name, they want to be supreme over those they see as “lesser” so at least there a kind of ‘logic’ you can follow to explain (not excuse) their evil acts.
