AITA for refusing to try on hijab?

I (26 F) am aware that this is an incredibly controversial topic but I am at my wits end in this situation and my family and friends are overseas and mostly incapable of helping me due to inexperience and lack of awareness. I am in the UK for my PhD and my roommate (28F) is muslim. We usually get along very well and I have been respectful and accommodating of her religious practices. I am very aware of the rising islamophobia worldwide and try to advocate against it whenever I can. I feel the need to mention these things because they become relevant. I am an atheist myself. My roommate on numerous occasions has tried to discuss religion and theology with me, but I have quickly shut her down fearing that this may lead to a conflict due to our differences. After her several attempts of comparing our respective religious backgrounds, I firmly told her that religion is that one topic I don’t want to remotely touch in a conversation with her because I did not want an argumentative and tense relationship with someone I share a roof with and she understood and stopped. Everything was fine for months until she started following those drives on tiktok where people get a hijab makeover on the streets and look pretty and thought of doing such a drive of her own. I gave her a thumbs up and moved on until she said she wanted to practice on me. I told her that I am not comfortable with this. She told me it is just a piece of cloth and it won’t hurt to try because I may end up liking it. I firmly told her that while that is absolutely alright, I don’t want to try it on, because I am simply not interested. This went on back and forth for some time until she told me that she is glad my islamophobia is finally out in the open and I have exposed myself. I was shocked and I asked her what made her think that I am an Islamophobe based on this one incident when I have gone above and beyond for her comfort. I abide by all her dietary restrictions in our shared kitchen despite not having any such restriction of my own. Once I bought this beautiful statue of a Hindu Goddess (not for worshipping purposes but purely for aesthetic reasons) and she told me that she was uncomfortable with the violent figure. I immediately complied and packed it away without any argument. I profusely apologised to her and I told her that I have nothing against hijab just because I don’t want it on me. She stopped talking to me altogether after that. A couple of other people on the campus have reported that she is telling everyone how uncomfortable she is sharing a place with someone so hateful towards her religion. While I am hurt that I have lost a friend overnight, I am also extremely scared that the word may reach the university administration and they might take disciplinary action against me. I may lose my scholarship or maybe thrown out of college altogether. I am an international student and this would mean my career will be completely over. I don’t know what to do or how to explain my end of the story because no one seems interested. I have continuously and unconditionally apologised to her since the event but nothing seems to work. Could anyone tell me where did I exactly go wrong and how can I fix this situation?

Edit: I believe I need to clarify that I am from India and I belong from an “untouchable” dalit caste. I don’t have any interest of pandering to racial and religious hegemonies because it will end up working against my interests and of the numerous brilliant dalit students who have academic aspirations.

Edit 2: She wanted to me to be a model for hijab trials because she wants to make social media content like hijab transformation videos. I see that a lot of people here don’t know about them. Basically, hijabi influencers have this drive/ campaign of sorts where they ask random women on the streets if they would like a hijab makeover and put hijab and modest clothes on them. There is nothing coercive in this. You can check Baraa Bolat for such content and you will get the idea. I personally didn’t want to participate in this because of the “no-religious stuff between us” boundary that I had established with my roommate and I was concerned that this may once again lead to religious debates like she used to attempt in the past.
