'Amish' is a Christian life style not a religion, they are Fundamentalist Christians. They call themselves 'plain people' and live a 'plain life'. They are happy hard working people. Not all children that are born into the 'Amish' life style stay in the 'Amish' lifestyle. Amish are an offshoot of the 'Old Order Mennonites'. Amish and Mennonites all belong to Mennonite Council of Churches. Some live a stricter lifestyle than others, it is their choice, they are all Christians. What they have in common with other Christians is their Love of God, belief and trusting Jesus Christ, and living their lives accordingly. Amish/Mennonites do not to have a 'murderous jihad' against all who are not of their faith.That was a sensitive, intelligent description of the Amish and I agree 100%. I live near an Amish community and respect them greatly. I'm sorry that Hindus and, yes, ordinary Muslims, were not described as accurately on this thread. That was my point.

I know nothing of the Hindus religion. They are obviously not required to exterminate or convert all infidels or we would have heard of them having a 'murderous jihad' against us infidels.
As for Muslims, I know none personally. I only know from what I have read and heard them say, they follow their Koran. Living a strict life style, praying 5 times a day and are instructed by their Koran to exterminate or convert all infidels.
Trust is something that has to be earned and unfortunately the Muslim Koran leaves little room for us 'infidels' to trust them.
