Did I say anything about legitimacy? No! I said definite and concrete. Even if their beliefs are bullshit they still believe in something!

Their religion isn't "kill everyone" so who they target is selective. This honestly comes across as Islamophobia - 'they're just monsters, who knows what they motivated by!'

Why did they select China?

Maybe Uyghurs?

Also Islam isn't kill everyone but ISIS kinda is just look at their opponent list on Wikipedia

Maybe, but it strikes me as strange that they hate all other sects and national groups except the Uyghurs. Also, they'd be the only group that actually does care outside the West. Very strange.

Not really maybe. In the article they say it, but neofacist cartoon character pic over here you are replying to probably didn't read it. They say it's for the Uyghurs and the support of the Taliban. They don't like the taliban because they are their local authority.
