dontconvert2islam tries talking Quran, Muslims best of creatures?

In answer to the video "Worst Creatures in Islam"

After enumerating the favors bestowed on the Israelities, the covenant they had entered into with God and their failure to uphold it despite having witnessed outstanding signs, Allah deposes the Israelites from their position of spiritual leadership and "living torch" over the world and addresses the Muslims

3:110"You are the best of the nations raised up for (the benefit of) men".

This is a honourific but explicitly conditional status that was similarly bestowed upon the Israelites 2:47,5:12-13 before their breaking their covenant with God and neglecting the revelations bestowed on them, as Similarly happened to those that came after Jesus' small band of righteous followers 61:14 that eventually neglected and forgot what their covenant with God consisted of so they ended up exaggerating in religion and innovating 5:14, forsaking what is still referred to in the NT as "the way" of Jesus. The Quran therefore doesnt deny but rather honors the covenants made by God with previous religious communities, each being in essence a manifestation of the pre-eternal covenant that God made with all of humanity when they were still in Adam’s loins 

"And when thy Lord took from the Children of Adam, from their loins, their progeny and made them bear witness concerning themselves, “Am I not your Lord?” they said, “Yea, we bear witness”. 

The covenants made on earth renew this genetic cognition of divine oneness 

33:7"And [remember] when We made with the prophets their covenant, and with thee, and with Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus the son of Mary; We made with them a solemn covenant". 

The various prophets thus served the purpose of reminding, so that no human beings can claim that they were unaware of that inner, instinctive knowledge 

7:172-3"Lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection, “Truly of this we were heedless,” or lest you should say, “[It is] only that our fathers ascribed partners unto God aforetime, and we were their progeny after them. Wilt Thou destroy us for that which the falsifiers have done?”.

 That honorific title now bestowed upon the Muslims is similarily conditional on obedience, righteousness and deep God-consciousness, as stated in the verse itself

"you enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong and believe in Allah".

Only those who base their lives on that principle can live up to that covenant, as well as achieve success in this life and the next

4:131"We have enjoined upon those who were granted revelation before your time, as well as upon yourselves, to remain conscious of God".

The Quran beautifuly describes those worthy of upholding a divine covenant as such

25:63-73"And the servants of the Beneficent Allah are they who walk on the earth in humbleness, and when the ignorant address them, they say: Peace. And they who pass the night prostrating themselves before their Lord and standing. And they who say: O our Lord! turn away from us the punishment of hell, surely the punishment thereof is a lasting, Surely it is an evil abode and (evil) place to stay. And they who when they spend, are neither extravagant nor parsimonious, and (keep) between these the just mean. And they who do not call upon another god with Allah and do not slay the soul, which Allah has forbidden except in the requirements of justice, and (who) do not commit fornication and he who does this shall find a requital of sin..And they who do not bear witness to what is false, and when they pass by what is vain, they pass by nobly. And they who, when reminded of the communications of their Lord, do not fall down thereat deaf and blind."

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 choseness 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.
