We bash on Muslims who choose to cover their bodies for their religion. So why dont we bash the Amish for doing the same?

From my experience, usually when people use the word bash, they also mean criticism.

I criticise the burqa because it poses security risks. As someone who grew up in a war against Islamists, I am very familiar with stories of terrorist escaping through the borders wearing that, or doing suicidal bombings wearing that too. They must be identified so they can be stopped.

Even in Muslim countries, the burqa is being/will be banned. It is not a clothing that is recognised as Islamic by all of the sects/schools. And historically speaking, Mohammed didn't mean for it to be a permanent rule.

Their clothing is often very beautiful. Yards and years of beautifully embroidered silk. That's not weird to me. It's lovely

Amish women are always free to leave the community- and aren't given severe beatings. I suppose this major difference is enough to justify criticism of Islam.

1) How have you seen Muslim women discriminated against for their dress?

2) The Amish aren't covering their faces.

Because the population of the Amish people can't be compared to that of the Muslims.

Amish done bombings are hard to come by .

D difference is the Amish don't go around telling people to do it or for that matter killing their daughter who doesn't

I don't bash Muslims or the Amish. But I would bash or be critical of those who do.

I honestly think people who criticize people's faiths are in the minority. Most people live and let live.

My guess is that the Amish are to themselves. We never hear much about them nor do they receive much media attention as Muslims do.

'Long weird dresses' lolol

I've heard more bashing around the Muslim hijab or burka than their dresses as such. I've seen Amish and Mennonite women in bonnets. When I was a little girl some traditional Catholic women still wore veils.

I can honestly say I have heard of and seen people bash Muslims but not once for the choice of clothing, I did not know people cared about that
