Why no backlash against their culture?[/quote]

simple folk

no Amish version of Hamas . . . They just love making their furniture and homemade foods and selling them to the "city folk." [/quote]

The amish hair covering looks "light", airy, innocuous and non-threatening-the niquab (sp?) looks dark, scary, suspicious and threatening-to me.  When I see an Amish woman and I think-"they are Amish" I thinkk perhaps they are "old fashioned", "simple", a "seamstress or farmer" etc...When I see a woman with her head and entire face covered in a black veil/niquab and I think "terrorist"-and if I see her with kids I think her husband is likely a terrorist too....sorry but that is what I think/feel.  Perhaps 9/11 traumatized me (I was at the WTC right after the planes hit)-no offense to anyone.  I guess I would feel threatened if someone walked into a bank wearing a ski mask too-just sayin.....[/quote]
