That benign Islam is mostly a myth. I didn't say that Islam was benign. I was pointing out that Christian treatment of Jews was generally but not always worse than the Islamic treatment of Jews. Christian antisemitism was real. It started in the first century and grew for centuries. don't you see a logical conflict in citing Matthew as antisemitic in one post and citing it as anti-Gentile in another I don't think that the cite of Matthew was particularly anti-Gentile. If so, it was Jesus that was anti-Gentile but it be better to say that he was pro-Jewish. Jesus preached that the end of the world was imminent. If so, it would be reasonable to expect that he would concentrate his message on his own community in the limited time available. The idea of spreading the gospel teaching to non-Jews was a post-resurrection development that doesn't appear in the gospels (except for the spurious ending of Mark).
