Sister, Salam
Do not let it bother you. Remember how Kuffar used to treat new Muslims in Mecca during first 13 years of Rasoolallah in Mecca. But Allah didn't allow them to even defend themselves. He kept saying INNALLAHA MA ASSABREEN.
Why Allah restricted them to defend themsleves?
Allah was strengthening their Eiman and lots of Meccans were slowly becoming their sympathizers. Islam was penetrating into their hearts. When Rasoolallah went to Mecca with 10.000 faithfulls to liberate Mecca from the Kuffar idolators who were controlling Kaaba, those
sympathizers were the first who came and read kalimah Shahadah. Remember Rasolallah forgave all Meccan people who committed atrocities against Islam. We also have to make Dua for thse ignorant people. Here we are trying to educate them. Insha Allah many of them will learn that Islam is the Truth and will join us Insha Allah. Islam is already fastest growing religion in USA and rest of the world.
One more thing I see is that the American converted Muslims are even better than us in practicing Deen and in knowledge of Deen. Have your ever heard Shaikh Hamza Yousuf. I give you the link below:

As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
Alhamdulliah! I am a Niqaabi Muslimah as well, although I don't cover my eyes. I have felt the occasional stare, but I know that I am operating on a higher authority. So that makes the stares irrelevant.
Speaking from my personal experience, I don't think so much it's that people hate it straight out. But, it is natural to fear the unknown. Ignorance mixed with fear breeds hate. Stay strong Sister. Allah rewards those that are steadfast in their faith. Today I read the most beautiful ayah in the Quran. It was Yusuf's prayer 12:101. Also, 11:112 is relevant.

I as a christian have no problem with someone covering their whole body. I do believe however that you have the freedom not to cover your whole body in Christ.
You are correct that there are certain laws and behaviors that you must follow.
The problem arises with Gods standard and His standard is perfection. You nor I are perfect. So God supplied the lamb that died for our sins.
This lamb is more important than my opinions or your opinions. It is our salvation.
Do not get so caught up in the little things that you forget about the big things.
Jesus Christ said "You strain the nat but swallow the camel."
Which is to say people focus on non important things. The only thing that God is going to judge you and I on is 'Do we believe that Christ is his son?"
The problem muslims have is they call Christ a good and wise teacher but they are in error with that statement and here's why.
#1 If Jesus was WISE then when he said that he was going to die and raise from the dead how could he believe that? Since you muslims deny his death and resurrection so you can't then say he was wise.
#2 You could say well, he was lying when he said that but then how can you say he is GOOD since he lied? So you see, the muslim religion is errored in that you cannot call Jesus a good and wise teacher.
He is either the son of God or a liar and a lunatic. Since you don't believe he is the son of God this is dangerous as we know the only answer that is left.
A decision must, absolutely be made on this JESUS CHRIST. Jesus said "Either you are with me or against me." so with Christ you cannot be neutral.
Are you for Christ? This is the question. The problem for you is whooo you think you have problems now..wait until the muslims persecute you for accepting Jesus Christ.
I would rather be persecuted for Christ and be rewarded than be persecuted for covering up and gain nothing.

"hole body"....how big a hole are we talking about here?
And how many holes?
Are the holes natural, or man-made?
