Not necessarily, there are different schools of Imams, fundamentalist and modernist, the Sufi Modernist Imams are not the ones to support the literal interpretation of “spread Islam by the fire and the sword” or “don't take Christians or Jews for friends”.
Fundamentalist Islam is utterly opposed to any sense of Eccumenicalsim..look up Sufi Schools of Islamic Thought..Imam Ghuzali..one is conflating them with Salafistic lines of thought.

Unfortunately, the history of Islam is totally against your position. Since we are discussing “social justice” and the very real possibility that America and other nations may pass, and execute, judgment upon Islam, the issue arises: “We are not G*d, and should we care if there is ‘one righteous man’ in Islam?”
I suggest we follow the profound wisdom of St. Anne - Invade, conquer, convert or kill them”
