Finally!
Just two example articles:
"ISIS threat has been exaggerated, says former MI6 chief: Sir Richard Dearlove thinks 'pathetic' Britons spreading messages on internet should be ignored"
Islamic threat is exaggerated by ‘oxygen of publicity,’ says former MI6 chief
I've been saying (and writing) that the errorism threat is exaggerated for years.
The people who alerted so much about the errorists weren't the though ones; they were the easily-scared chickens or worse, professional cynical fearmongers.

It's more and more obvious that the terrorist narrative served and serves other purposes. ISIS is doing something "good" by focusing on fellow Muslims with less reliance on PR stunts in some Western infidel country. It's really a way out of the terrorist narrative for us if the problem boils down to a Muslim civil war in Syria and Iraq. It's a very sad story for everyone living there, but there does not seem to be a route to a different solution.
