If the definition of terrorism's success is killing as many people as possible then Abrahm's study hypothesis is correct. But if the long term goal of modern Islamist terrorism is to establish sharia law then their success is immense - integrating into the muslim populations' mainstream, being accepted by democratic governments, while keeping the Islamist caliphate ideology is (to my opinion) the one biggest danger for the liberal western culture (especially in sleepy Europe) which might be driven to demographic extinction if the process continues undisturbed.
