Wow, talk about a self-fulfilling opinion. So because there has not been an attack there is no threat? Thats the same attitude that cause over 3,000 people to die on 9/11. And by the way, there was already one attack on the Brooklyn Bridge that was stopped and arrests were made thanks to the much misunderstood and maligned Patriot Act (Source: Fahrenhype 9/11)

As for a history of just Islamic terrorism against the US...

There is a reference to a pirate attack in 1793, but after that it appears that terrorist attacks have been made on the US since 1973. 28 attacks all told over the last 30 years.

Well we've seen what ignoring it gets us, so lets just continue to ignore it again so we can just stop worrying about it and pretend it doesn't exist. When we do get attacked again because Britney Spears raised her hemline 3 inches, we can just chalk it up to a big "whoopsy!" and shove our head back in the sand and wait for the next one.

Talk about ignorance being bliss...
