Attackers use scissors to cut the beards and hair of Amish

Pennsylvania – Four Amish men have been arrested, charged in one of four bizarre attacks on other Amish people. The attackers barge into homes and use scissors to cut the beards and hair of the victims. Investigators believe members of the “Bergholz Clan,” which has been described as a group of religious castoffs, are responsible. Experts say that Amish men are required to let their beards grow after they’re married and that women follow Biblical rules that they’re not to cut their hair. The attacks, they say, are meant to shame and humiliate the victims.  more
