In other words, the only potential large scale and long term danger the terrorists pose is the possibility that they turn people against liberal values.

There has always been terrorism and there will always be terrorism. However, it actually used to be worse, at least in Western Europe.
Large parts of Middle-East are admittedly in a really bad mess right now, but I fail to see how that is even remotely tied to Western Liberalism.
If only Reza Azlan and Glenn Greenwald would have renounced Islam in time, that would surely have stopped ISIS from ever happening!
