Dear Sister !
I do not know how to make out a few words that would assuage your tribulations. You have to admit that all the people who call them Muslims have neither known Islam nor accepted it. They need a religious identity for worldly purpose and they use the terms 'Muslim" and 'Islam" historically even if their forefathers might be true Muslims. Thus, a large number of the present day Muslims are fakes and many others are perverted or misguided to violence.They are, in fact, real enemy of Islam; they are the wolves donned in mask of Islam. Since your parents have not yet read the Quran and the Hadith, they are not able to understand the real Islam and its beauty. You may try to make your parents understand very politely that their anger has emerged from the violence of the so-called fake/misguided Muslims who have neither known Islam nor accepted it. But never argue with them when they are angry or reluctant to listen to you. In such situation, you must have patience not to show counter anger nor misbehave with them. You may,on the contrary, show that you really love them very much; and actually you have to irrespective of their faith. If they ask you to do anything that is tantamount to associating partners with Allah, humbly disobey without arguing. Never cast any hot word towards them. Develop a habit that you will pay no heed to any harsh words of your parents. Instead, the harsher they are towards you, the more respectful and loving you will be towards them. At the same time be more mindful to your salah. This you will do for the pleasure of Allah as your divine duty. Surely Allah's help will be with you, as He has declared: "O’ You who believe! Seek My help with patience and prayer: surely, Allah is with those who are patient."[2:153]
It is also necessary to tell you that it might be Allah's test for you, as he has said: "We shall surely test your steadfastness with fear and famine, with loss of property, life and produce. Give good news to those who endure with patience who, when afflicted with calamity, say: 'We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return.' Such are the people on whom there are blessings and Mercy from Allah; and they are the ones that are rightly guided.[2:155-157]
Don't get disheartened and apply silence and patience.
