They are the same, the only difference is that the Anglos espouse a progressive ideology while Islam is very retrograde.
Like I said, Islam is not just a religion, it's an complete ideology with different components. It has a political component, legal component (sharia), financial component, religious component, societal and cultural component, and even a military component (exemplified by jihad). It becomes a problem when adherents try to adopt its complete form, where the Chinese and the Yorubas have succeeded is only adopting the religious component but rejecting the rest. The Chinese understand this well that's why you see them making sure that while its Muslims can practice their faith in peace they make sure they keep them culturally Chinese, hence a successful pacification. It's the same with the Yorubas, they are culturally Yoruba and keep their traditional culture above everything else, it's because of this reason they can marry non Muslims without requiring them to convert and have children where some are Muslim and some are Christian, they live in peace.
There's another Central Asian nation that has just recently banned the hijab and other cultural elements that comes with Islam, they have also figured it out. They want to promote their traditional culture and keep Islam only as a religion and not a complete ideology. It's the same with Albania that's why you don't hear about problems there.
I'm not so sure it's in China's long term interests to strengthen the Islamic world, it's in China's interests to make sure the Americans are bogged down protecting its baby in the region long enough for it keep gaining strength. There's no inherent benefit to inserting itself by explicitly picking a side, it can get the same benefits by not committing as much resources to one side against the other.
