I'm not certain "tolerated" is an accurate description of Islam's traditional teaching concerning Jews and Christians. If tolerated is defined as conversion, enslavement or extermination then it may well be the proper term.

I'm fairly certain that most of Islam views Christianity as polytheistic. However, I'm not really aware the polytheistic/monotheistic distinction means that much. If your a member of the Dar Al Harb your future isn't too rosy in a Muzzle dominated culture. An infidel is an infidel is an infidel.

Dr. Mahathir Mohammed's "final victory" also doesn't sound as if the Jew is "tolerated" very well. The language is very reminiscent of Nazi Germany which didn't seem a real tolerant place. His speech at the OIC where he made that comment was received very well by all of the visiting Muslim dignitaries which would indicate nearly universal agreement in the Muslim world with a final solution.
