 Dont assume he thinks negatively of u. In the long term religion views matter for compatibility as thats been my experience so breaking up is not a bad thing to do logically.

Your so young, if you have to hide your beliefs or your feelings from people then you know your doing something wrong. If you think your mature enough to date then you should be able to be honest. If he thinks your a 14 year old girl terrorist then he's an idiot anyway. Your more likely going to bring trouble to both of you if you start a relationship in secrets and lies. You can't be honest and trustworthy if your hiding part of yourself.
I could go on about it being haram and tell you don't do it but I'm sure you know and don't care.

 Well if you explain to your boyfriend how you feel and not to judge you based on your religion, you will be able to see if he's the kind of boyfriend you want to keep?
a true boyfriend should be supportive, so just tell him your feelings and if he runs away
he really shows he is not worth it!
Goodluck!

 Don't fear. You can test your assumptions by asking him what he thinks or perceives about some muslims. Think of 3 or more questions in (general or particular) that can erase your doubts and fears. Just take his opinions and listen.
When you have your answers and I am sure he will not generalize you as one of those muslims you mentioned in your post...enjoy his company and just be yourself.
I want you to know, I am a christian and living in a Muslim world, I don't see any difference as a Christian and a Muslim. These terrorists stories...leave it that way as our world is full of complications.
But you, you are still young. Enjoy your life!
