Amish convicted of hate-crimes
An Amish bishop and 15 of his followers have been convicted of hate crimes after a series of beard-cutting attacks on those they had deemed had strayed from the faith.
Federal prosecutors argued that the group, led by Samuel Mullet, waged a “campaign of terror” against religious enemies and estranged family members.
The beard is a sacred symbol of Amish devotion to God, and the vicious home invasions and animal-like shearing were designed as a humiliating act.
US Attorney Steven Dettelbach said in a statement that “our community and our nation must have zero tolerance for this type of religious intolerance."
