Until the advent of materialism and 19th c. dogma, Western Civilisation was superior to anything Islam had developed. Islam has not aided in the development of the modern world; in fact civilisation has only been created in spite of Islam. Proof of this resides in the 'modern' world and the unending political-economic and spiritual poverty of Muslim states and regions. Squatting on richer civilisations is not 'progress'. Islam is pagan, totalitarian, and irrational.

In this Sura, as in a few places in the Koran [the emphasis on a few], there are 'laws' which demand that Moslems treat other Moslems properly. You should not kill a Moslem child [how can the cult grow ?], nor murder a cult member [how can the cult grow ?], nor steal, plunder, rape or cause 'mischief' in Moslem lands. The same is not true of the Moslem treatment of Christians. Sura 16 for example is a long treatise on Christian hate. Sura 17 picks up that theme. Since Christians associate 'partners' with 'god' [Al-Lah means the 'One' and references Hub'Al Lah the moon deity], they can most certainly be humiliated, crucified, murdered, raped, and destroyed.
17:22 Set not up with Allah any other ilah (god), (O man)! (This verse is addressed to Prophet Muhammad SAW , but its implication is general to all mankind), or you will sit down reproved, forsaken (in the Hell-fire).
17:23 And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honour.
17:46 And We have put coverings over their hearts lest, they should understand it (the Qur'an), and in their ears deafness. And when you make mention of your Lord Alone [La ilaha ill-Allah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah) Islamic Monotheism] in the Qur'an, they turn on their backs, fleeing in extreme dislikeness.
17:111 And say: "All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has not begotten a son (nor an offspring), and Who has no partner in (His) Dominion, nor He is low to have a Wali (helper, protector or supporter). And magnify Him with all the magnificence, [Allahu-Akbar (Allah is the Most Great)]."
Rather clear. Christianity is a polytheism according to Moslem doctrine and polytheists are denounced in the Koran as criminal, and doomed, linked to Satan. Christians are also linked to Satan and evil of course throughout much of the Koran including this Sura:
17:53 And say to My slaves (i.e. the true believers of Islamic Monotheism) that they should (only) say those words that are the best. (Because) Shaitan (Satan) verily, sows disagreements among them. Surely, Shaitan (Satan) is to man a plain enemy.
Christians cause mischief and sow dissension and disagreement amongst Arabs and Moslems because they reject the 'signs' of the Al Lah thing, namely, the 'prophethood' of mad Muhammad, and his pernicious handbook, the supremacist Koran and the mad ravings therein. They are also arrogant and pompous as they distract Arabs from the true sharia of the Al Lah cult:
17:4 And We decreed for the Children of Israel in the Scripture, that indeed you would do mischief on the earth twice and you will become tyrants and extremely arrogant!
The penalty for the arrogant Christians [and Jews], along with other mischief makers is torture [and terror].
Al Lah allowed the Romans to sack Jerusalem, in 70 AD fulfilling a prophecy of Christ:
17:7 (And We said): "If you do good, you do good for your ownselves, and if you do evil (you do it) against yourselves." Then, when the second promise came to pass, (We permitted your enemies) to make your faces sorrowful and to enter the mosque (of Jerusalem) as they had entered it before, and to destroy with utter destruction all that fell in their hands.
Christians and Unbelievers go to Hell:
17:8 [And We said in the Taurat (Torah)]: "It may be that your Lord may show mercy unto you, but if you return (to sins), We shall return (to Our Punishment). And We have made Hell a prison for the disbelievers.
Christians will be subjected to justified terror:
17:16 And when We decide to destroy a town (population), We (first) send a definite order (to obey Allah and be righteous) to those among them [or We (first) increase in number those of its population] who are given the good things of this life. Then, they transgress therein, and thus the word (of torment) is justified against it (them). Then We destroy it with complete destruction.
17:48 See what examples they have put forward for you. So they [Christians] have gone astray, and never can they find a way.
17:72 And whoever is blind in this world (i.e., does not see Allah's Signs and believes not in Him), will be blind in the Hereafter, and more astray from the Path.
17:58 And there is not a town (population) but We shall destroy it before the Day of Resurrection, or punish it with a severe torment. That is written in the Book (of our Decrees)
17:97 And he whom Allah guides, he is led aright; but he whom He sends astray for such you will find no Auliya' (helpers and protectors, etc.), besides Him, and We shall gather them together on the Day of Resurrection on their faces blind, dumb and deaf, their abode will be Hell; whenever it abates, We shall increase for them the fierceness of the Fire.
17:98 That is their recompense, because they denied Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and said: "When we are bones and fragments, shall we really be raised up as a new creation?"
Finally Moslems should never befriend the hated Christian: 17:73 Verily, they were about to tempt you away from that which We have revealed (the Qur'an) unto you (O Muhammad SAW), to fabricate something other than it against Us, and then they would certainly have taken you a friend!
If they do befriend the Christians the Al-Lah thing will punish them: 17:75 In that case, We would have made you taste a double portion (of punishment) in this life and a double portion (of punishment) after death. And then you would have found none to help you against Us.
The Christians and all polytheists are always up to no good, so never trust them which is why of course you should never befriend them: 17:76 And Verily, they were about to frighten you so much as to drive you out from the land. But in that case they would not have stayed (therein) after you, except for a little while.
The messaging from this Sura is rather obvious, except to multi-cultural loving dimwits and lovers of Islamic fascism and supremacism. Treat fellow Moslems with kindness, but not Christians. The followers of Christ are doomed and damned for associating 'partners' with the idea of 'god'. They are animated by Satan and deal in mischief, arrogance, and lies, deceiving the Moslem faithful and even trying to be friends with Moslem cult members, in order to lead them astray from the worship of Muhammad-Al Lah. Any Moslem who engages in cordial contact with Christians will be tortured. This theme is clear. The cult of the Al Lah thing is uber alles and supreme. Christians are only fit for hell and torture.
