If the Antichrist was a pagan, God wouldn't point out his rejection of the pagan faith of his fathers as a point of condemnation.

Daniel 11:37 tells us he will not regard the desire of women. Some suggest that it means he could be celibate or homosexual.

While that's possible, it's more probable in the context that Daniel is referring to the fact that he will have no regard for the desire of Jewish women.

The whole context of this prophecy is religious and appears to be the preferred interpretation.
