...complex will be resolved when the Muslims try to see the world through non-religious glasses

But this is where the crux of the problem seems to reside, doesn't it... A Muslim who thinks this way is on dangerous grounds. Jesus Christ's revolutionary separation of what belongs to God, and what goes to Caesar (Church and State) - never occurred in Islam.

Orthodox Jews (just as fundamentalist Muslims) never separated practical aspects of their lives from God either - but they never considered it to be "God's War" to impose their beliefs on others. I suppose the need to resolve this contradiction is what necessitates the concept of being "chosen".
