Amish - An orthodox tribe, unlike orthodox muslims, allowed to live their own style

• Don't stare, gawk, or otherwise be disrespectful of the Amish.
• When driving, keep an eye out for slow-moving Amish buggies (especially at night), and give them plenty of room when following or passing. Keep headlights on low-beam and stay away from the horn, except for a short toot when passing, to avoid spooking the horses.
• Do not enter private property without permission.
• No photos or videos, please. Most Amish consider posing for photographs to be an unacceptable act of pride and do not allow pictures of themselves. The Amish will usually allow you to photograph their homes, farms, and buggies if you ask respectfully, but even this can be intrusive and is better avoided. If you must take pictures, consider a telephoto lens, and avoid taking any photos which include recognizable faces. A picture of the rear of an Amish buggy as it travels down the road probably won't offend anyone.
• Do not feed or pet horses that are tied to a hitching rail or harnessed to a buggy.
• Out of respect for their privacy, it is best to avoid approaching the Amish unless they appear open to company. They are just like you and don't really appreciate strangers knocking at their door. When you do have a need to approach a group of Amish, it is polite to speak to a male, if possible. If you are sincerely interested in talking to the Amish to learn more about their culture, then your best bet is to patronize an Amish-owned business and talk with the shopkeepers. Most Amish people enjoy talking with outsiders, if they don’t feel like they are regarded as animals in the zoo.

Amish Country - Dos and Dont's When Visiting Amish Country

dont be direspectful to amish, but be curteous :) it is their lifestyle, let them live the way they want to live... let them prevent their children from goin to school... let them violate(or go against) the laws of their govt. when it comes to muslims, everyone wants to civilize the ' uncivilized and barbarian fundamentals' if they want to live as per their understanding of their religion under their cultural obligations.
