Were medieval European Christians’ attitudes towards non-Christians consistently negative?(Particularly 1000–1300)
Mostly yes. There are some exceptions, like Saladin who was praised highly by Richard the Lionheart and subsequent people.
Very ironic that back then europeans consider saracens to be effeminate and sneaky minded while arabs considered them to be alpha male idiotic brutes. Now its the opposite

The Matter of France have many stories were Moors were treated with respect, some were evil but many were noble even though they were enemies.
Christian always had positive attitudes towards "the good pagans" of the past as well.
the Nine Worthies had three 'good' jews and three good pagans
In the land of popular fiction there was also Sir Palomedies the saracen and his brother and father who were all renowned warriors
I would say Sicily was pretty good to Muslims. Don't know about Jews though.

Problem?
Aquinas was so popular, probably not.
The massive hatred against everything not-Christian came with the Protestants, especially puritans. It's funny most of the things that get attributed to the catholic middle ages (witch hunts, religious intolerance, religious fundamentalism) were largely done by protestants.

What about the Spanish inquisition?

The Spanish Inquisition has been the subject of severe exaggeration. Anything the Spanish did pales in comparison to what the English did to the Irish for example.

That's not fair, spain was invaded en masse and butt fucked by the muslims for a few hundred years, you can't necessarily blame religion for hating your enemy who's been wanting to dismantle you for hundreds of years religion or not.

It was just banter.
