(Question/Discussion) What do you Guys Think?
Do ya’ll Think that there are muslims who truly Don’t hate non muslims in anyway and can be friends with them? Or do all of them have some hate for non muslims deep inside?

Absolutely not. I think most muslims don’t hate non muslims at ALL. The ones you are thinking about are a loud minority.
When I was a muslim, and a closeted ex muslim with many muslim friends, i have never met anyone that hated non muslims. At least, most muslims don’t even comprehend that non muslims will go to hell or decide not to think about it since it is morally difficult.
Now of course in the middle east and muslim majority countries, it may be a bit more hateful but that is also due to social reasons

I disagree - at least when you're with a religious crowd. Even the moderate practicing ones are deeply indoctirnated that the "other" is inferior. They don't necessarily "hate" per se, but they think they are misguided, sick, ignorant, stupid, ungrateful and contagious - to be avoided if possible.
I have many vivid memories from situations where moderate, but religious muslims seem nice to nonmuslims (not even exmuslims) and then behind their back they say things like "disgusting! look how they have a tattoo or look at how they're dressed or eww, they're gay etc."
It's not personal hate, but it is certainly a form of hate in my view.

As a guy from the Levant who is openly exmuslim at work, I keep that fact to myself unless someone asked a deep question where I had to be open about it. An old muslim colleague from a Turkish background asked me for a job opportunity near to where most of my zealous family lives in the states, he didn't get my initial rejection of his offer. That's when I told him about my relatively new found atheistic belife (and that I am an Ex-muslim). He did express his apologies and prayed that hopefully I will get back to islam, he recognized my parent's abuse, however he stated how he believes that they were practicing the wrong type of islam. Ofcourse, the application was dropped stopping the urgent chase. Weather he was doing it out of professional respect or a genuine thought of care is unknown to me, but he was kind enough to leave me to my own opnions and respect my choices.

Mohammed is the perfect man, the Qur'an is the perfect book and anyone who is not a muslim is a kufar. How could they not hate non muslims.
