FBI raids terrorist Amish group involved in hate crimes against other Amish
« on: November 23, 2011, 07:28:31 PM »
You can't make this stuff up. The FBI arrested seven members of a "terrorist" breakaway Amish group that had attacked other Amish, cutting off hair and beards. The leader of the rogue Amish group also had sex with the married women in his group.

All seven members are being charged with hate crimes under federal law.

Members of other Amish communities bought Mace and shotguns for defense against the group. The sheriff described the leader of the terrorist Amish group as "evil".

What's next? Buggy-by shootings? Quaker Nazi's, who declare war and then refuse to serve?

The story is here

Strings, I intended this to be a funny post, not an invitation to start another Crusades. ;)

So instead of the Screaming Beards, it's the Screaming About Beards.


As to the shotguns I hope they realize that you do have to use the sights. It's not good just to be aimish with it.

Wasn't going for a crusade, Dick. Nor was I aiming at any one religion.

I've made the point any number of times that ANY religion can be twisted. Hadn't heard of it happening in the Amish community before, though...

If anyone took my statement as "aimed" at anyone, my apologies. Such was NOT intended!

Why, in the beards, of course. Why do you think the terrorist group was shaving beards? To get ammo.

Just giving you a hard time, Strings. You have to admit, though, that as religious news stories go, this is one of the weirdest.

I'm not sure which is weirder - rogue Amish, or making a federal case out of a local assault case  :mad:

And as for armed Quakers . . . I remember a story about a Quaker with a shotgun who confronted a burglar: "Friend, I would not harm thee for the world, but thou art standing where I am about to shoot."

Wasn't local. I believe the assailants crossed a state border in their raids.

There's gotta be a straight line in there, somewhere, but it's not coming to me.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
