The Amish people are known for their peaceful nature, which makes the attacks by a group of religious cast offs even more shocking, and RadarOnline.com has all the details of the bizarre crimes.

Members of a number of families who were disowned by the mainstream Amish have reaped revenge by cutting the symbolic beards off the men and the hair from both men and women, reported MSNBC.com.

The vicious attacks took place in the heart of Ohio's Amish country, which is home to one of the biggest populations of the religion in the U.S., and are aimed to degrade the victims without hurting them.
