That benign Islam is mostly a myth. The Ottoman empire in the 1500's was better than Spain, but other examples are pretty much non-existent. At one time, most of the Jewish population of the world was in the Mediterranean basin and Europe's Jewish population was small. But today, Jews of European descent vastly outnumber Mizrachi Jews. There's a reason for that. All the books you mentioned were written by Jews, except Luke and Luke was the student and confidant of Jewish Christians. Naturally since first century Christianity was mostly Jewish. BTW don't you see a logical conflict in citing Matthew as antisemitic in one post and citing it as anti-Gentile in another? I also think much of the alleged antisemitism is based on misinterpretation involving the Greek term for Jew and Judean. In one place, you have Jesus in Galilee being warned by Pharisees about "the Jews." Doesn't make sense considering Jesus, his disciples, the Pharisees in question were all Jews, living in a Jewish country with a Jewish king ... unless you consider that Jesus and most of his followers were Galilean Jews and Greek has the same term for Jew and Judean, unlike English.
