You forgot their atrocious treatment of women and the issue of rape and sexual assault. Yep, the Amish have crime, too, but they tend to blaming the victim in these cases.

The article also failed to mention the reason there are so many German Anabaptist sects in America: they got kicked out of Europe when they couldn't find a home sympathetic to their hyper strict version of Christianity. These sects were often started by lay-people who disagreed with the lack of beatings being dolled out by their church leader.

I grew up around a lot of Amish people. At least when it comes to dealing with "the English", they are vain, sanctimonious assholes. I see little difference between them and the fundamentalist sects of Islam that we get forced in our faces by the news to paint all of Islam with the same brush.
