Just about any community that is fervent about its religion and bases a good deal of its identity on that is likely to be an uncomfortable place to live for someone who is of a different religion, lukewarm about their beliefs or indifferent to religion at all. It will be more difficult for a person who marries someone of a different faith and lives in that person's commnunity. You seem to be saying that "Jewish communities around the world and not only orthodox Jews" will automatically ostracize a non-Jewish spouse and his/her children; that has not been my experience nor have I read of that being a "common" phenomenon at least in the US. It may be a common practice in the ME, given the political situation there, but can you tell me if "the Muslim community" welcomes a non-Muslim (i.e. Jewish) spouse into their ranks? I am willing to bet that the Muslim Mom and Dad are probably not too happy about that either.
