Umat Kristen ditengah komunitas Non Kristen, misalnya di Jepang, negara negara Arab, umat Islam dikomunitas non Muslim, dsb. Mengenai Yahudi ini memang agak istimewa, karena bangsa ini sudah sejak zaman Perjanjian Lama hidup dalam diaspora, dimanapun dipersulit dan di-kejar kejar. Dari zaman Mesir Faraun sampai kezaman Jerman Hitler. Juga masyarakat Tionghoa diluar Tiongkok. Jadi, tak terbatas dua kelompok itu. Masyarakat mayoritas Islam sebenarnya bukan bangsa yang melawat ketempat lain (walau ada yang melakukannya), namun mayoritas berada diwilayah masing masing.
