One major cause of anti-semitism was that both Christians and Muslims

 Mostly correct.  Usury was charging excessive interest rates.  While
in college in the 1960's, I was the local loan shark.  The college
(Cal Poly, Pomona) had large number of foreign exchange students,
mostly from Iran and Saudi Arabia.  They were all the son's (no
daughters) of the rich upper classes in their countries.  All these
students were granted very little pocket money by their parents on the
assumption that if they lacked the funds to play around, they would
spend their time studying.  It didn't work, but that was the plan. So,
the students went to disreputable sources (like me) for borrowing
money.  I had no trouble getting paid because I knew that the very
last thing they wanted was for me to inform their parents of their
son's activities.

They'd likely just sadly remark "I fell in with the wrong crowd" if caught (despite almost nobody ever meeting a self-declared member of "the wrong crowd")
