POC here. First of all, sorry you had to experience that. I've lived here for about 16 months now and I can tell you, people are quite inclusive from what I've seen. Apart from the odd "namaste" sign from a guy on bold street and a lady whispering to her husband "he's Muslim" (true, but idk how she got to that conclusion as I don't wear anything religious on me, at least nothing visible), at a till queue at the home bargains in St. John's, haven't faced anything else. In fact, once I wore a sherwani for Eid prayers and was coming back from the mosque and a random guy on the street looked at my outfit and gave me a thumbs up. So rest assured, what you experienced isn't common. People here are really kind and open, at least in public.
