I am not following your meaning very well I'm afraid, but your attempt to discuss this complex subject in a language that seems not to be your first is very good and I appreciate it.
I can only really speak from my own experience and their are as many different reasons for downplaying the Islamic threat, as there are for overplaying it. One reason, which is far from the only one, is the possibility of retaliatory acts by vigilantes. I hope that goes someway to answering your question.

I am sorry, but sometimes i want to say someting like i would say it in german, and it is not easy to translate complex german into english, sometimes. I even use Linguee for the missing words... xD
I have to ask my buddy the next time i see him, what kind of terror attacks are prevented most, but stay hidden for the public. Only thing i know is, that he works against rightwinger extermism/terrorism there. I have to ask him why he never said which kind of terror attacks(religious, right- or leftwing, or whatever) are allegedly prevented that often.
And what their reasons are to not go public with all those allegedly prevented terror attacks and why they don´t use those allegedly successful prevented attacks to make the people feel more secure than they feel now(some of them, only a few are feared in reality of muslim terror, here in germany. We have real problems that hit us everyday, all of us, and that are nor muslim terror attacks)?
If i would be the "allmighty protector", i would go public with every successful prevented terror attack. Just to show how good my agencies work. And that the big brother measures really are FOR the people, and not against them. And why all that big brother stuuf really is necessary. Maybe even people, that think like me, would rethink everything again then.
But this doesn´t happen, somehow. We only hear about the prominent MSM terror attacks, that only could happen because of "flops, failures and fumbles" of "our protectors", which get rewarded with more anti democratic rights, more money, more power for the growing surveillance- and police state, after every single of their fails. That doesn´t raise the trust of the people in "our protectors".
Why do average people know the term "false flag attack" nowadays?
Before ten, twenty years nobody except some "conspiracy theorists" knew this term...
You are right, retaliatory acts could be one reason.
Another one could be that "they" don´t want to fear the people too much.
But wait, we all know that "they" only are able to rule because the people live in steady fear.
Hmmm...

HALF MOON BAY — One man is dead and another is in custody following a fight near Fernandez Park inHalf Moon Bay, the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office said. Deputies were called at 7 p.m. Thursday to the 800 block of Main Street after the report of a fight. They found two men on the ground in front of a residence with “visible injuries,” said Detective Sal Zuno. Zuno said one man was bleeding heavily from a stab wound to his neck. Sheriff’s deputies and Cal Fire personnel gave him CPR for a “significant amount of time,” but he died at the scene. The second man was taken into custody. Neither of their names was released and it wasn’t immediately clear what they were fighting about, but Zuno said both men were in their 50s.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Police are looking for an assailant and witnesses after an attack left two men injured in a shooting and possible stabbing overnight in downtown Salt Lake City. Salt Lake police Lt. Dave Cracroft tells KSL-TV that officers responding to reports of gunfire on West North Temple found a man with a gunshot wound a few blocks west of Interstate 15. He was taken to Intermountain Medical Center in critical condition. Cracroft says another man with an apparent stab wound was admitted in serious condition after he was driven by friends to a nearby hospital.Police questioned a man found running from the shooting scene, but Cracroft says he's an apparent witness and not the assailant.

Meh, it is just the new normal in Britain, France, Germany, and Sweden. It will doubtless be the "new normal" in the US before long. I'm somewhat surprised they even report these events anymore.

The guy who tackled the perp was a Turkish guy, according to an eyewitness. Germans themselves don't have the balls to do that kind of stuff.

so then normal daily acts of violence and murder is a step below acts of violence done for political reasons?? Interesting, since the normal daily acts of violence by Christian Americans (or those in name only) claim far more victims annually than Islamic terrorism. I am curious by this viewpoint.
