The thread is an false accusation against Democrats. Democrats do not underestimate or trivialize the threat from radical Islam.

{Senator DeMint asked Senator McCaskill if the global war on terror would be considered an emergency or imminent threat. Senator McCaskill's response? Well, read it here:
I do not believe that declaring that we have a problem with terrorism worldwide that is a status quo day in and day out would be considered a day-to-day emergency.
Senator McCaskill doesn't think terrorism is a sufficient threat to allow the TSA flexibility in its policies.}
Actually Senator McCaskill said she doesn't think the threat is a day-to-day emergency. And of course she is right. That there is no imminent threat of an attack today doesn't mean that the al Queda groups of the world aren't going to try and sucker punch us again. We need to be wary but not live in fear that there is going to be an attack today.
{Is There Still a Terrorist Threat?: The Myth of the Omnipresent Enemy
By John Mueller
September/October 2006
Summary:
Despite all the ominous warnings of wily terrorists and imminent attacks, there has been neither a successful strike nor a close call in the United States since 9/11. The reasonable -- but rarely heard -- explanation is that there are no terrorists within the United States, and few have the means or the inclination to strike from abroad.}
