We sit in our nice warm homes wanting all this extremist oppression to end in other countries, do we seriously expect no backlash on us in our own countries?

You seem to be somewhat confused as to what constitutes collateral damage.
Collateral damage is when someone/something other than the actual target is taken out and applies to both people and structures.
