Are you suggesting that all the other Muslims will agree with you about acceptance and human rights being core tenets of Islam?
No. What I am suggesting is that almost all people who convert to islam, or for that matter convert to
any of the text-based religions, do so once they were satisfied, in their mind, what the 'core tenets' of the religion are, and they do that without conducting any sort of in-depth study of each and every one of the religion's scriptures.
As for what each convert believes to be the 'core tenets' of their religion, that is entirely up to them

What other "main universal values" also happen to be core tenets of Islam?
.
All universal human values - because in my view islam and universal human values are one in the same. Any adherent to any religion will tell you the same - since if you think about it, for a believer to consider the idea that there exists universal human values that did not begat from their religion, is rather nonsensical.

Where do these core tenets come from?
Islam. Obviously.
