I heard insults to non-Jewish people in the sermons in synagogues with my own ears. but we don't say bad things about Christians, Hindu's or Muslims in our synagogues as a rule. Oh yeah? Then I must have been dreaming when I heard rabbis talk (shout, rather) about the supremacy of the Jewish race and the "stupid goyem", among other such remarks of dubious courtesy. On this particular occasion, I was there out of respect for a friend and his father who had just passed away. There was a short ceremony and the rabbi, probably not used to any non-Jewish presence in the synagogue, launched on this strange attack on non-Jews in the sermon. The weird part is that it seemed the sermon was triggered by the news in the paper that some ex-Nazi had become a painter and was now selling his paintings in a gallery or something. I thought it was very strange. That is not to say that such sermons were to be heard every time I went to a synagogue. In general, people are very nice and welcoming - men nice and friendly, women a bit less so ("Who are these women? Our men are not enough even for us!"). They help in when to stand up etc. but you should know that such sermons take place in synagogues as well.
