ISIS are in the fortunate position to be able to exploit any situation to suit their ends and that includes the migrant crisis. They can do it by sending operatives amongst the 'refugees' and they can use the plight of the refugees to further outrage and radicalise muslims already in Europe and the UK. They know that 99% of people will reject their ideas and extremism but the 1% who don't are more than capable of causing death and mayhem.

1% appears to be a relatively small number but once you consider how many 1% of just 1million is you are talking about a significant number.
IMHO what we've seen in recent years is just the tip of the iceberg, they may be getting defeated on the battlefield where their "Caliphate" exists but that doesn't mean they will disappear.
Terrorist atrocities will increase and their methods of attack will multiply. Of that you can be certain.
