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

So why do we allow Amish women to dress modestly and not Muslim women?
I've seen Muslim women discriminated for wearing their long weird dresses, why though? Dont the Amish do the same?

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

2) The Amish aren't covering their faces.

@Sicarium: For their religion, for which they choose to wear a dress. So covering the face is the line that cant be passed?

@golemn9: You said they were discriminated against because of the way they dressed and you've seen it. I want examples of that.

@Sicarium: At the store the other day the clerk refused service to a woman with the weird dress thing.

@golemn9: And...? How do you know it was discrimination? What store? What was she buying? Did she need an ID for the purchase?

@Sicarium: she was buying vegetables. i know because he explicity said he didnt serve muslims or something

@golemn9:

he explicity said he didnt serve muslims or something

That's suspiciously specific and vague at the same time...

@Sicarium: am i supposed to give a detailed account of that day? Lol That isnt even the point of this post

@golemn9: If you're going to make a claim, yeah, you back it up. You chose that as your example, not me.

@Sicarium: that isnt the point. im talking comparisons. amish and muslims. I could have used examples from the news. it doesnt matter because thats not the point

@golemn9: Of course it matters. If it didn't, you wouldn't have included it.
