your original point was that SNL should be careful satirizing ISIS due to the risk that ISIS folks will attack 30 Rock which sits in the middle of Midtown Manhattan, a fairly high value target.
it was proposed that ISIS wouldn't dare attack 30 Rock itself due to the risk that the USA will rain down bombs on ISIS territory in response.
i tend to agree. i think SNL/NBC face a fairly low risk of retaliation from ISIS due to the skit in question for the reasons previously stated.
i think that after ISIS has been proved to have attacked US soil the USA would definitely bomb ISIS territory in Syria and Iraq and i suspect Syria would probably join the US in fighting ISIS or else risk being seen as supporting ISIS against the USA.
