Summary/Abstract: The threat of terrorism is clearly on the rise. The year 2015 became a stark reminder to Europeans that they do not live in a security bubble any more. However, terrorism is not the only threat facing Europe and emphasis needs to be placed on the perils connected to an overestimation of the terrorism debate. This significantly prohibits EU and NATO members from addressing other threats which are at least equally, if not more, urgent.
