Your god is VERY sensitive about other's beliefs. He whines about them in many hundreds of verses. Here are some of my favorite examples. To quote you, "I mean is there some kind dire need to insult other peoples worldviews to boost your own ego or place in this world?".
7:176 - So his example is like that of the dog: if you chase him, he pants, or if you leave him, he [still] pants. That is the example of the people who denied Our signs
7:179 - We have destined many men and jinn for hell. They have hearts but do not understand, eyes but do not see. They have ears but do not hear. They are worse than lost cattle
8:22 - Indeed, the worst of living creatures in the sight of Allah are the deaf and dumb who do not use reason.
8:55 - Indeed, the worst of living creatures in the sight of Allah are those who have disbelieved, and they will not [ever] believe
62:5 - The example of those who were entrusted with the Torah and then did not take it on is like that of a donkey who carries volumes [of books]. Wretched is the example of the people who deny the signs of Allah.
98:6 - Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the worst of creatures
