See the thing is most kuffar only see what's in the media and very rarely do they come across practicing people. The reason why the kuffar in the UK to a certain extent are more accomdating to Muslims in comparison to other western countries lies in the fact that many of the kuffar have got used to Muslims praying in public etc. It is not longer something very strange. The same with the beard and even hijab (not niqab). The lesson is the more we practice Islam the more the ways will open for us inshallah and even if tests come we shall inshallah be prepared for them.
