One major cause of anti-semitism was that both Christians and Muslims
considered usury, lending money at interest, to be sinful. So people

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.

I'm sure none of that loan money was spent on beer or Playboy

I'm a german-irish protestant-catholic mutt, but I've always had close
Jewish friends (and girlfriends) for some reason. They were smart,
kind, friendly, and neurotic. Fun.

DNA may not be your friend.

I always thought that I was half Ohio German farmer and half New
Orleans white mongrel.  Turned out I was about a quarter Irish, and so
on, so my Mother's theory about 100% German could not be complete.

Despite all the Jewish girlfriends, no Jewish roots.

My Irish wife found all this hilarious.
