Asalaamalikum,
Indeed an interesting question to contemplate about. I'm now making an observation, that non-Muslims in general do not get tested as hard as Muslims because they would not know who to turn to nor are they stronger in faith.
There is a thin line between a test and punishment, one has to reflect about why something is happening to them - if they did something that angered Allah swt or they are a strong righteous believer and Allah wants to see how strong they really are.
Allah swt assesses each one of us and we are never afflicted with a trial beyond our limits. Meaning that Allah will not give a person a trial that they could not bear or handle. Thus, the harder your trials in this life the more rewards for overcoming them and resting your faith and returning to Allah swt. May Allah help us all conquer our trials, especially in these tragic times.
