Um... that verse you just quoted states that the language of the religion is Arabic (an extremely ancient language to which is Hebrew is related to). It does not say that the religion is for Arabs only.

Thanks, but if I want to know more about Islam, I will ask an Islamic scholar who spent his entire life studying the religion from an unbroken line of scholars and not someone who quite clearly from your example, is prone to wild interpretations of the Qu'ran and that ignores early Islamic history. Go read up on who the first Muslim was to give a call to prayer. I'll give you a hint. His name was Hazrat Bilal and he wasn't Arab.
