nayrt but two points here.

First, there was actual combat in the Cold War, there was just never actual combat between the USSR and the USA. But there was plenty of violent conflict as part of a Cold War, and it did lead both superpowers to go to war. Just not with each other.

Second, the threat from the Cold War was in fact a bigger threat than Islamic extremism. Because the Soviet Union and the USA both had nuclear arsenals large enough to effectively wipe out the population of both countries. It never happened, but it could have done. Terrorism has actually affected people, true, but the scale of the threat is so much lower - it's not an existential threat in the same way. Even if it didn't actually happen, I don't see how you can deny that the potential of mass extinction existed and affected people's thoughts.
