This is irrelevant to the post but do you think it’s possible that the Islamic messiah could be the antichrist? I know you said the Jewish messiah could be the antichrist but the Islamic messiah also is prophesied to have many similar qualities to the antichrist.

Muslims have a weirder version of end times prophecy (mostly due to the fact that they just wantonly absorbed local pagan religions and stuff) so it's a bit harder to say.

They have this convoluted concept of the Messiah that also varies from Muslim to Muslim (specifically how much emphasis they put on the Hadiths) but generally speaking they believe that Jesus will come back in a similar manner to how Christians see the end times. The big difference is that Muslims kind of have 2 messiahs (again depends on how they interpret the Hadiths) with the second one being Mahdi. I could definitely see Muslims interpret the Anti-Christ to be Mahdi though.
