Easy there Dghnatt. While many of us are ashamed of these particular knottheads don't fly off the handle and lump all Americans and all Christians in with them. It winds up making you no better than they are (After all the lump all Americans and all other Christians together too) They are not the first group of yo-yos to claim they have the one true church etc etc.
As for the Amish, I can't say I agree with all their beliefs and the amount of police reports of abuse comming out of that territory is frightening (Corporal punishment taken WAY to far) BUT They are a peaceable people. Nobody who is living a life like they are trying to live should ahve to go through what they are having to go through. From my understanding they DO try to follow the Bible, and they are for the most part good people (Even here you cannot lump it all together folks people are individuals and cappable of great good or great evil ALL on their own) I do know that they are some of the dangdest craftsmen I have ever seen. Furniture and buildings (Particularly barns) built by these people last hundreds of years. And they are still building them that way.
Anyway

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
