Islam does have statements calling out for erradicating polytheistic religions, but none of them necessarily by force. One thing that is highly misinterpreted in western countries, is that muslims do not consider christians or jews as infidels.
In fact out of curiosity, i'm portuguese and the islam did occupied the iberian peninsula from ~700-1200 a.c. but one thing that is usually not told, is that islamic troops only "invaded" iberia, because they were literally invited by some regions' nobles to join them and protect them in their quest for occupying other reigns in Iberia, and only because they knew that Sharia Laws' demanded that Muslims had to defend the other believers of the scriptures like Jews and Christians! After the campaigns, the ammount of Islamic forces in Iberia Peninsula was so overwhelming that they easily expelled the noble's from the lands and declared the caliphate in the peninsula.
So it's clear that ISIS while saying they're trying to impose Sharia Laws' , is actually acting against it's word.
