it looks like John Philoponus and possibly others are ready to return to the ancient Xtian tradition of confiscating and burning Talmud volumes.

Quite the opposite, really. I want the Talmud and other “sacred” Jewish writ translated into as many languages as possible and for it to be as widely distributed as possible. This way when Bible believing Christians use them to point to the gaping differences between Jewish writ and the Gospels, they can’t be accused of antisemitism. I’m not ashamed of Christ or His message. I don’t need an army of apologists or sophists to understand His message.
John Philiponus is by his own admission influenced by Marcionism, an ancient chr*stian heresy that says the chr*stian "gxd" and the G-d of the Torah are two are two completely different beings. There is an old anti-Semitic, gnostic, and occultist tradition which identifies HaShem as Satan (chas vechalilah!), and JP seems to lean in that direction also.
