They are incredibly unforgiving. Once you cross them or their ways, you don't get back. That goes for children that may choose a different way or whatnot.
They shun all things modern, that means tech and ideas. Things that affect those outside such as some not wanting to use blinkers or reflective tape on their buggies. A resistance to modern farming ideas like contour farming that reduces erosion. This leads to a buildup of Nitrates, phosphates and particulate in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
They are very destructive environmentally. They, generally don't care for stewardship of the earth, as our existance here is actually a punishment, not a gift. They do not live by the 'giver' attitudes written about in Ishmael.
Their treatment of their women and children is, IMO, cruel and inhumane.
They are also incredibly rude and their children are the spawn of hell when they come across outsiders.
It's a culture I hope dies out one way or another very soon.

Sounds real nice, Belt. Just make blanket accusations about an entire religion and hope for their demise.
