This is purely anecdotal, but countries that haven't actually been touched by terrorism seem to be a lot more terrified of terrorists than countries that have been. It's a lot more of a boogeyman when it's those-people-over-there-doing-crazy-things

I remember in Poland and Croatia people were so scared that a common sentiment was basically wanting to ban all muslims.. you know.. just-to-be-on-the-safe-side

So while yes, this is a scapegoat, people in China are actually scared of the terrorists.. it's bizarre
