Apostate prophet taught to distinguish; Muslim complacency or responsibility?

In answer to the video "The Hateful World of Islam"

Muslims must now remain God-conscious rather than self satisfied and conceited because the loss of that spiritual humility results in moral degeneration as happened to the previous holders of such honor with the passage of time 57:16.

This task, rather than racist or unconditional superiority, as those uneducated in Islam try to portray, this task of being the "best of the nations" is progressively instilled in Muslim minds. The Quran does so by recounting as a warning, how the Israelites failed holding up God's covenant by not fulfilling their spiritual responsibilities not only towards themselves but also towards the people they mingled with.

It then immediately deposes them from their spiritual leadership over mankind, then appoints the righteous among the Ishmaelites, those that fulfill the qualifications spoken of earlier, by symbolically turning the Qibla away from Jerusalem to the Kaaba built by their forefathers Ibrahim and Ismail. It that shocking context that caused much polemic when it was announced, God told these Ishmaelites willing to enter into that covenant and bear the burden of being the light of the nations, He told them the tremendous responsibilities and hardships such leadership would entail 2:153-7.
Not fulfilling these responsibilities spoken of as well as in 3:110 would only be these new leader's own loss, not God's whose sovereignty encompasses all things. It would invalidate this honorific status and cause God to ultimately replace one chosen community with another

4:131"and certainly We enjoined those who were given the Book before you and (We enjoin) you too that you should be careful of (your duty to) Allah; and if you disbelieve, then surely whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is Allah's and Allah is Self-sufficient, Praise-worthy". 

That this honoring is certainly not unconditional is further confirmed in the same chapter with 3:104 as it isolates a group from among the Muslim community

"And from among you there should be a party who invite to good and enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong, and these it is that shall be successful".

It clearly says that the chosenness of the Muslims as upholders of the covenant does not make them all equal in God's eyes

35:32"Then We gave the Book for an inheritance to those whom We chose from among Our servants; but of them is he who makes his soul to suffer a loss, and of them is he who takes a middle course, and of them is he who is foremost in deeds of goodness by Allah´s permission; this is the great excellence".

Again when referring to the battle of Uhud, the Quran narrows its selection of the true Muslims

3:172"(As for) those who responded (at Ohud) to the call of Allah and the Messenger after the wound had befallen them, those among them who do good (to others) and guard (against evil) shall have a great reward".

Among the Muslims, they were those who didnt yield to their selfishness and greed, they answered the calls of the prophet, and even among those, the verse reiterates what constitutes honor in God's eyes: correct belief and righteousness, not merely being Muslim, see also 6:88. It is to be noted that the correct faith characterizes itself through a constant focus, no matter the conditions, to God, and a captivated heart by the awe of an unseen Entity, which in turn leads one to guard himself from evil 50:31-3.

3:110 also says that this "best nation" was raised to benefit mankind. Harming mankind or causing it to reject Islam by portraying it in a light that isnt true to its message, is contrary to the purpose of that "best nation". That purpose of being beneficial for mankind can only occur by spreading the reality of Islam, remaining true to the divine covenant and bearing witness to it 3:103,22:78 by displaying outstanding moral qualities regardless who is addressed 4:135, transmitting this beneficial knowledge and not keep it for themselves, leading mankind to the straight path by it

81:27"It is naught but a reminder for the nations, For him among you who pleases to go straight".

This is just as the Bani Israil were enjoined to do when God appointed them a living torch for mankind, yet failed 2:63-64,3:187,28:5,32:24. That among a chosen nation, chosen to fulfill a specific task, some will inevitably fail in their duty is again reflected in

35:32"Then We gave the Book as inheritance unto those whom We elected of Our servants. But of them are some who wrong themselves, and of them are some who follow the middle course, and of them are some who outstrip (others) through good deeds, by Allah's leave".
