Don't think anyone has ever said that?
That article in the OP is sloppy (and that's being very kind).
Terrorism from Islamic extremism is the biggest threat facing this country and most of the globe. To think otherwise is just sticking your head in a very big hole.
Be it organised, lone wolves, or inspired by.

So here are some statistics for those interested. Let’s start with Europe. Want to guess what percent of the terrorist attacks there were committed by Muslims over the past five years? Wrong. That is, unless you said less than 2 percent.
As Europol, the European Union’s law-enforcement agency, noted in its report released last year, the vast majority of terror attacks in Europe were perpetrated by separatist groups. For example, in 2013, there were 152 terror attacks in Europe. Only two of them were “religiously motivated,” while 84 were predicated upon ethno-nationalist or separatist beliefs.
Or what about the (dare I mention them) Jewish terrorists? Per the 2013 State Department’s report on terrorism, there were 399 acts of terror committed by Israeli settlers.
We are talking about groups like France’s FLNC, which advocates an independent nation for the island of Corsica. In December 2013, FLNC terrorists carried out simultaneous rocket attacks against police stations in two French cities. And in Greece in late 2013, the left-wing Militant Popular Revolutionary Forces shot and killed two members of the right-wing political party Golden Dawn. While over in Italy, the anarchist group FAI engaged in numerous terror attacks including sending a bomb to a journalist. And the list goes on and on.

There's a lot of words there, that tell you sod all.
If the list goes on and on.
Provide the list, describing exactly what each incident was.
Be interesting to see how many were killed.
Would also be interesting to include all of the planned attacks that were foiled.
Put it this way, I don't expect an attack in the UK by the IRA, or the FLNC, FAI, golden Dawn or whoever.
But I would expect an attack from an Islamic Extremist.
The more we refuse to face up to this issue, the more we invite an attack.
