Interesting.

If a Christian had written an article in net.religion proper using the same
tone as Yehoyaqim Shemtob Martillo's article, talking about how his way of
thinking was superior to other cultures, about how even members of his
group should be considered vulgar if they do not adhere precisely to his
traditions, he would be fried alive by any number of contributors, more
than likely other Christians among them.

I, for one, find this sort of talk as offensive as that which I see coming
from many evangelistic Christian fundamentalists.  Could someone please
explain to me what the difference is?

Granted, he is certainly right about the level of Jewish education among
American Jews.  It's a shame that, apparently, a significant level of
Jewish education and practice is often accompanied by that sort of
attitude. (This is certainly not confined to Judaism, but exists in any
system of practices and ideals where there are purists and non-purists.)
