Answer

The stereotype that all Muslim-majority countries are full of terrorists and hate Christians, are kidnappers and oppress women and require wearing a hijab. I lived in Senegal, which is a majority Muslim country, but they drink alcohol, there's no terrorism, women wear tank tops and can wear skirts, give equal rights and leadership roles to women, and they clean Christian churches for Easter Sunday as a sign of respect.
