It depends on how you define "tolerant."
Certain scriptures in the Qur'an specifically state that "people of the book" (a term which specifically includes Jews and Christians) are not to be persecuted and will be rewarded by Allah for their good works.
In practice, that's sometimes been followed and sometimes not; Jews and Christians have been persecuted by certain Islamic regimes and more or less tolerated as long as they "behave themselves" by others.
Actual equality is not demanded by the Qur'an nor has it been particularly characteristic of Islamic nations.
However, the question asks about "Muslims", which refers specifically to people rather than to governments. The answer to that is that people are people. Some of them are tolerant, some of them are intolerant, and some of them are raving loons; this is a common feature of pretty much all religions (or lack thereof... there are certainly raving loon atheists out there as well).
