Several members of the group carried out the attacks in September and October by forcefully cutting the beards and hair of Amish men and women, authorities said. Cutting the hair is a highly offensive act to the Amish, who believe the Bible instructs women to let their hair grow long and men to grow beards and stop shaving once they marry.

Funny that the suspect's name is 'Mullet'

Amish fundamentalist terrorism. What's next, I ask you?

Amish-on-Amish crime. America's secret shame.

You know how you can tell when your Amish teen is headed for big trouble?

- When he wears his big black hat backwards!
- When you find his secret stash of colorful socks!
- When you catch him looking at pictures of girls without their bonnets on!
- When you correct him and he yells "Thou Stinketh!!!"
- When he defiantly states: "If we had a radio, I would'st listen to RAP!!"
- When his name is Jebediah, but he insists on being called "Jeb-Daddy."

Or when he says on New Years Eve: "Tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1899."

And what's the deal with the moustache-less beards? Is there something in the Bible about that?

[indianasmith]

Not that I am aware of, and I have read the book in question more than once.

Maybe they have Lincoln envy!

Well they're getting in a close shave with the law.

Well they're getting in a close shave with the law.

At least they didn't get themselves into a lather about it.

[Cthulhu]

I'm not against shaving amish women's beards.
That seems pretty weird to me.

Well they're getting in a close shave with the law.

At least they didn't get themselves into a lather about it.

These jokes need to be sharpened up a bit.

They are a little shaggy, I admit.

The Amish Mafia....what's this world coming to?

Was there perhaps a Witness to this crime?
