A New Muslimah Feeling Overwhelmed by Hatred

Assalamu alaikum, sisters and brothers. I took my shahada just over a week ago, after months of reading the Quran. I’ve fallen in love with the hijab, and inshallah, I pray it becomes easier to wear it more often. But lately, I’ve seen so much hatred and mockery-from ex-Muslims and others. I live in Oklahoma, so I knew the environment wouldn’t be easy, but the ignorance and harsh words people say are really disheartening. It honestly makes me afraid. I don’t want people to see me as a joke or wish harm on my family just because of my faith. I saw an ex-Muslim call Islam a "garbage religion" and laugh at women reverts, saying we’ve been fooled and that Islam hates women. That’s simply not true, and it upset me so much. I grew up around Christians and always saw how the Bible had been changed. Finding Islam and the Quran felt like finally seeing the truth clearly. It still brings me to tears. It’s a book filled with love, respect for humanity, and it feels familiar because of my Christian background-Allah’s teachings without the corruption. It’s beautiful. But so many people have hearts full of hate toward female reverts. I hear things like fear-mongering about halal food, states trying to ban hijab, or labeling Muslims as supporters of terrorism. I don’t have any Muslim friends and rarely see other sisters in hijab, so maybe it’s because I feel alone, but I wish I could feel safe, not like a target. I’d love advice from my brothers and sisters, especially sisters who are reverts. Does it get easier? Am I just on social media too much and the algorithm keeps showing me hateful stuff? My husband isn’t Muslim but accepts my practices (he’s not Christian either), and we sometimes joke that we’re in enemy territory because of our views. But that feels more real now as a revert. It’s so strange to finally find peace in my religion and then suddenly feel surrounded by hate because of it.
