3. yeah

but it's just that: disruption... which isn't fatal...

the main problem won't be ISIS, but people overreacting TO ISIS, which could lead to nationalism and the rise of right-wing extremism...

But ISIS.. meh... it would take 100 attacks as deadly as 9/11 to kill as many people as obesity kills every year in America...

So...hard to really be afraid of of these guys... no matter how desperately politicians and the media try...
