It's the opposite. Europe has always had terrorism, but the US doesn't seriously have a terrorism problem. The US had the horrible attack on 9/11 and the Oklahoma City bombing. That's it. Europeans have had terrorism for as long as there has been a Europe. In the 20th century alone there were thousands of terrorist attacks in Europe.
