When it comes to the exercise of religious tolerance, the true test comes when somebody of a different religion flexes his rights (not just worship-wise but also publication of his religious books, proselytizing, construction of churches, etc). This feature varies among Islamic countries, but the common denominator is Islamic supremacy. The non-Muslim religion cannot share the same prominence as Islam, even in the most "moderate" Islamic country you can think of. Even when Christian churches are allowed, it cannot put up a publicly visible cross that typifies the Christian church.
As for hatred towards non-Muslims, majority do not hate individual non-Muslims. However, majority would like to see a world where the Holy Law (Sharia) is supreme. In other words, they don't really hate individual non-Muslims, they just don't like the secular laws that we all live by. Is the view that adulterers should be stoned to death or that apostates should be killed agreed only within extremist/radical circles? No. Watch this video and see what a normal Sunni gathering thinks:
The goal of ISIS is to restore the Caliphate, a sort of Islamic empire that ended in the 1920s, and ultimately to Islamize the rest of the world. Once the West falls, the rest are easy pickings. That's the view of ISIS and that's probably why there are more attacks seen in the West than in Asia. They don't do Dubai or the wealthy Emirates probably because they don't want to bite the hand that feeds their operations or destroy the conduit for this funding. Who's funding ISIS, if not some wealthy donors and so-called "charities" in Saudi, Qatar, Kuwait, etc whose banking systems are perhaps also used in this process?
I think it was Muhammad who said "War is deceit" and "Lying is permitted when the end justifies the means". So we have to be skeptical about any appeasement from the mosques, every time "Allahu Akbar" goes on a rampage.
