Why didn't the magazine say Muslims?

Because China is full of self-identifying Muslims who have never prayed once, drink alcohol whenever they want, have never been a mosque, don't know in which direction Mecca is, haven't ever cracked open a Quran, have never been to the Middle East, don't know a single word of Arabic, but don't eat pork.

Muslim isn't scary in China, because every knows a Muslim who is just like them in every way (but doesn't eat pork).

(These people have a good mix of Han genetics and are significantly different that Uyghurs who live in Xinjiang, a territory that Mainland China annexed 65 years ago and has subjugated ever since).

To make Muslims scary, you'd have to admit that China has a security problem out west. It's easier just to say Pakistanis. 90% of Chinese people can't even find their own country on a world map, but they have heard of Pakistan.
