MESOPOTAMIA (Ohio)- The invasion of a Mesopotamia home in which a man's beard and a woman's hair were cut was one in a series of Amish-on-Amish attacks across four eastern Ohio counties, including two on Tuesday, investigators said.
The attacks were carried out by members of a group of Amish religious castoffs near Bergholz over spiritual differences, Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla said Thursday.
The Amish men known as the ''Bergholz Clan,'' led by Bishop Sam Mullet, are under investigation by at least four sheriff's departments. No arrests have been made but investigators said they plan to file assault and burglary charges.
Abdalla contacted Trumbull County Sheriff Thomas Altiere last month to notify him of a possible unreported attack Sept. 6 at 4088 state Route 87. Abdalla said he found out when attackers returned to his county with the hair and beard cuttings to prove to Mullet that his orders were carried out.
Lt. Richard McBride said that when he went to the home last month, at first he encountered resistance from resident Barbara Miller. After some coaxing, Miller pointed to her husband, whose beard had been cut, and said, "They did that to him," the sheriff's report states.
Then she removed the bandanna she was wearing, revealing several patches of missing hair. "And they did this to me," she told McBride.

Well there goes the “gotta be those Amish again” posts.
And so ends a glorious running joke. The Jihadists are probably laughing.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Funniest post in weeks. And just two words....
Forget MS-13, La-Raza, Al-qaeda, the Black Panthers - the “Bergholz Clan” are the real bad guys!
Put their wanted poster on the Post Office wall alongside of Obama’s Bitter Clingers Napolitano’s Disgruntled Military Vets.
Growing up in PA, I had been to Lancaster County many times, but this summer we actually took a tour of the Amish country. I am disillusioned with the Amish and a lot of their silly beliefs.
I had thought that the plain clothes and no buttons was a symbol of austerity, but it turns out, it’s a symbol of how much they hated the Prussian soldiers who wore double breasted jackets with big brass buttons. That’s the claim, anyway. In reality, it’s a means of control of the women, like a Muslim burkha.
When a little girl is four years old, they are no longer allowed to wear buttons and instead, use straight pins, to pin their dresses and aprons together, in such a way that no man is going to be able to get the clothes off against the will of the girl. In my opinion, it is child abuse. Can you imagine trying to play with straight pins all around your waist and up and down your back?
The other thing that I learned is that the Amish can own companies that use electricity, power tools and trucks, as long as they pay someone else to turn on the lights, use the tools and drive the vehicles.
So this time, it really WAS the Amish!
