The tradition that Moses actually wrote the book of Deuteronomy and the Torah
as a whole is just that - a tradition.  It is far from being true.

Nearly every modern critical biblical scholar holds to multiple authorship
of the Torah (known as the documentary hypothesis).  this hypothesis states
that the Torah breaks down into 4 distinct parts (J, E, P & D) with a 
redactor (R) putting the whole thing together.

So your quote from the book of Deutoronomy is irrelevant to me.  Moses never
said such words.  Likewise, Moses never said the words of Exodus 19:5-6 which
calls Israel a priestly nation.  This is an invention of later Jewish scribes.

The truth is that all mankind is created in God's image, and all of us are
completely equal in God's eyes.  There is no elect people (either Jewish
or Christian or Muslim) which is simply elitism and wrong.
