As for whether or not it's "a few bad apples" while I do not believe that all Muslims are bad people, it's certainly more than just a few bad apples. It quite possibly started off that way, but you know what they say: the rotten apple spoils the bunch. Terrorist leaders such as Osama bin Laden preach their fanatical ideas to others and the ideas spread like butter.
