So what are they calling them instead? Something more pleasant I hope.

Unlikely, I believe the Arabic language is quite rich in terms of contempt.

The idea is that sermons should go more like this:
"O God, deal with the Americans, the English, and the Jews, for they are within Your power. O God, show us a black day for them. O God, shake the land under their feet, lower their flags, sink their ships, and shoot down their planes. O God, terrorize them in their homes. O God, intimidate them, as they intimidate the peaceful."

sermon from Imam Abu-Hanifah mosque in Baghdad)

...and let dogs not lie at their feet or monkees amuse them. let their woman walk before them and bare their face and bodies to generate loething, and may Allah strike them down like pins from the bowling ball of your mighty arm...
Yes! Yes!
Much more creative than the old rhetoric.
Thank Allah they have come to their senses!

Well, at least they're calling whatever names they're calling in private, and not in public, on radio/tv or in places of worship.

They can change. The Christians did ;)
"[The Jews] are inveterate murderers, destroyers, men possessed by the devil... debauchery and drunkenness have given them the manners of pigs and lusty goats. They know only one thing, to satisfy their gullets, get drunk, to kill and maim one another. They murder their offspring and immolate them to the devil ...The Jewish disease must be guarded against. The Christian's duty is to hate the Jews."
-St. John Chrysostom, Church Father, Saint, fourth century C.E.
