You have got to be kidding. A peaceful people that limit contact with outsiders are lumped in with Islam? I don't think so

Try again - you missed the point. The post I replied to was about how repressive Bush's War is on religion. An absolute bull position.

The Amish make a religious choice to live in the 17th-18th century and turn their back on modern "conveniences." Therefor the, the Amish individual can not sue when his voluntary life becomes inconvenient in a modern world. His choice to live like that - tough **** if it makes life difficult. Resorting to a lawsuit over a problem he created is bull.

Blaming that on a repressive Pres. Bush is greater bull.

Demanding absolute religious freedom of such bull invites the ludicrous idea of a Muslim suing Bush for violating his religious freedom for not letting him kill in the name of Allah.

Try thinking a little harder next time.

The Amish are forced to live in our society much as the Natives were.
They need to litigate to be able to keep their schools, farms, and way of life.
Why don't you think a little harder about our sub-societies.
