Perhaps? Well, they certainly were protected in comparsion to pagans, weren't they?

Because those pagan religions did not integrate themselves enough into the mode of production. A slave society or nomad society can be either pagan or monotheist. It doesn't matter. So if a pagan society is conquered by a monotheist one, people can convert easily and it doesn't change their fundamental social relations.

>If it isn't, then how Jewish minority had survived Middle Ages and even adapted to the ascent of capitalist better than most, meanwhile literally every single European pagan was exterminated by Christians?
Because monotheism's greatest sin is polytheism and thus, they got wiped out while the monotheist Jews were left "relatively" alone. Even Muhammad's reign saw them left alone as long as they paid jizya. The resentments occurred with the removal of their special privileges like usury and Muhammads iron fist when dealing with long-standing tribal privileges.

>no Middle Eastern polytheist tradition (some of which were older than Judaism) had survived the Islamic conquests?
Pagans were not given the choice of paying jizya, it was convert or die. Islam's main point is that Christians strayed from monotheism with Jesus worship and idols so Muhammad was sent to correct the record one last time. Jews and Christians were given the chance of peace because they are monotheistic and their texts are protected by command in the Quran as there might be a smidgen of "truth" in them. Pagans meanwhile, are completely at odds with monotheism. Islam won because it was much more powerful than the scattered, isolated, tribal cultures that surrounded the region. Islam's power came from ignoring tribal traditions in favor of a unifying monotheistic ideology.

Christians meanwhile didn't even give the choice of a tax. They just killed them all, like in Spain.

>Is Abrahamic privilege a thing that does really exist?
I have no idea what this means. There's a historical materialist explanation for the route religion took somewhere but simply put, religion evolved overtime with everything else. It went like grave worship -> ancestor worship -> idols -> polytheism -> monotheism. It's not divine power or whatever "abrahamic privilege" means.

>Abrahamic privellege
you seem to be talking about Judaism specifically ITT but "Abrahamic" also refers to Christianity and Islam.

Your general question is "how do minorities survive"? The answer is always "carefully"

>Because monotheism's greatest sin is polytheism
Which is funny because every single monotheistic religion does henotheistic/polytheistic tropes when they feel like. The trinity. Angels and demons. The devil. TRVE monotheism would be something like Deism or Spinozist Pantheism.

>wtf how do these monotheistic religions keep surviving?
git gud, scrub
