Islam, even in its fundamentalist form (Salafism, Wahhabism) doesn't call for outright extermination of "People of the Book", only their subjugation under the dhimmi status.

When Hamas lets Christians live, they are doing what Islam considers right. Outright pagans (polytheists) would be a different story.

Still, they enforce Islamic law where they rule. You cannot be openly gay, you cannot openly proclaim that you no longer believe in Allah (apostasy), a Christian man cannot marry a Muslim woman.

The fact that some other fundamentalists go further than Hamas doesn't make Hamas non-fundamentalists.
