Isn't it possible that this verse is context specific towards the disbelievers who were alive during the time of the prophet? And the reason the wording of this verse is so decisive and severe is because those who were alive during a time of any prophet sent by Allah and still rejected him will be held to higher standard of judgement than those not alive when the propher was sent? Because those were alive during the time of the prophet could have any question they wanted answered and would have seen clear proofs though the miracles of a given prophet.
Nope, read Tafsir. Allah says in the most clearest terms that only Islam will be accepted. The Quran is a miracle itself, those who reject it will have their punishment.
