I teach many reform, "assimilated" Mennonites. They are indistinguishable from the rest of the kids. We also have a large population of old-order Mennonites (they don't call themselves Amish up here) in the area. Of course they are supposed to be, among other things, non-drinking. Just the other night our neighbour was chuckling because the old-order (buggy riders) were a little unsteady when they left his place where they were doing some work. Apparently they were indulging in some spirituous refreshment.

I think the threat from Muslims taking over America is pretty ridiculous. The danger from evangelical Christians however is obvious.

I'm assuming they don't have guns.

There are lots of Mennonites who don't dress differently at all. However, it's hard to be a Mennonite without also being a pacifist, so not sure how they are demonstrating their radicalism.

Converts are always the most fanatical.

<i>Isabella “knows from her own reading of the Bible that marriage is between a man and a woman,”</i>

Isabella may also know from her own reading of the Bible that children are begatted through the process of "knowing" someone instead of that sciencey <i>in vitro</i> bidness.
