Assalamu aleikum sister Muslimah,
Your words touched my heart. I understand so well what you mean, though I have personally been 'spared' the worst efforts being made against me. But the feeling towards them that are ignorant and also a bit aggressive, is the same, you feel pity for them, that they are so locked up in their narrow world and not being able to widen it up. The greater world is within reach, but they cannot let go of what they have, to only taste and smell it a bit. So when being able to restrain against 'attacks' or bad chosen words, it is surely Allah, SWT, that will give the reward to the patient one. InshaAllah we will have a 'long list' of good deeds that will carry weight, when our time comes to meet Allah, SWT.
Wasalam your sister
