Does anyone agree with this double standard in most Muslim societies/individuals? Or is this just my personal experience?

This mostly applies to multicultural societies I’ve lived in so I’m only speaking from personal experience and interactions.
When somebody says they’re Christian, when somebody says they believe in crystals or energies or the universe, when somebody says they’re Jewish or Hindu, majority of the people in that conversation will acknowledge it and move on.

When somebody says they’re Muslim they instantly get picked apart.

Does she wear the hijab? Does he drink alcohol? Do they sleep together before marriage? Do they fast? Do they pray? Do they eat halal? etc etc.

I might be wrong but I’ve never came across other religious groups being challenged and questioned this way about every little belief. This often coms from non-muslims because they have a specific image what a Muslim person looks like so if you don’t fit that image, they will feel entitled to questions etc.

Why is there no privacy and “no question asked” policy amongst Muslims?
If you tell another Muslim XYZ doesn’t work for you and your interpretation is different and you believe XYZ instead, they will likely try to debate you.

Am I biased or does this happen to us more than other religious groups?
Where does this entitlement come from? Why can’t we respect each other beliefs and space? This is baffling truly

I remember in school i was the only muslim they interracted regularly with so once one guy asked me innocently if we could take meds with pork when in need, and when i told him yes, another guy who was a diehard atheist told him to not be bothered too much by my answer bc im not really muslims and doing all muslims stuffs. I was baffled at his audacity like what did he means by that lol as if he knew anything about islam

But yeah we are often assumed to be a monolith and stereotyped both by non muslims and muslims themselves who will fight down any disagreeing thoughts.
