Also, what do you hear in your mosques regarding this topic? Is the same message being preached world-wide or are there varying degrees of intolerance for infidels?
I would like to hear a Muslim's view on this question, if possible...
Thanks.

I am not Muslim, but the answer to your question is No. Not in those terms. It is an interpretation (much like the right wing fanatical christians blowing up abortion clinics). Violence is against basic judeo-christian-muslim (as Islam is an extension of the other two religions). As usual, it takes a few crazies to spoil the pot.
