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?

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.

@bijouxbroussard: So it's the face that cant be covered? why bash that and not the weird dress? what's the difference really?

@golemn9: That might be the concern, not being able to see their faces. I don't bash anyone, so I can't really speak for those who do.
