That's it. So......... no. Both of those risks you write about are very, very, very small. If Zakaria's number is right, their entire army couldn't even fill McMahon stadium. And ideological?
I mean, seriously?

Talking about all Islamic extremists here. And yes, ideologically, their mandate is death to all infidels. To actually listen to someone speak, you here them talk about never giving up the cause. Death is irrelevant because their children, and grandchildren, and great grandchildren will carry on the cause. They speak very directly about having a much greater will in this regard than the west does.
If you don't want to take the threat seriously, that is your choice. But dismissing this as 30,000 ISIS soldiers is completely missing what is going on, and has been going on for some time - on many fronts, not just ISIS.
