I would place a massive amount of blame on the Saudis. Most extremist groups in other religions don't have backers with billions of dollars of disposable income and carte blanche from every major power.

True, there are Shia extremists as well - but the history of that stream of Islam is its own mess.
There is not a problem with Islam. There is a problem with radicals who think that Islam has advanced too far and want the West to hate normal practicing Islams forcing them to go back to how it was.

ISIS wants to divide the world.
