"Oh [Muslim] brothers, the nation that excels in the death industry, and knows how to die a noble [death], Allah grants it a precious life in this world and eternal bliss in the Afterlife. The only weakness that shall humiliate us is the love of this world and hating death. Therefore we have prepared your souls for great action, strive for death - and life will be given to you."-- From Palwatch translation of The Muslim Brotherhood handbook.

Thousands of demonstrators are expected to converge on the Indiana Statehouse Monday in protest of a new bill that could make Indiana a right-to-work state.(from wibc.com)
Fox59 says a House committee will consider the bill Monday morning. The bill would strip many unions of the ability to negotiate wages and work rules. Only construction trades would be exempt from the bill.The bill's sponsor, Representative Jerry Torr (R-Carmel), says a right-to-work law would bring jobs to Indiana.
"There are employers outside the state that would move their businesses here if we were a right-to-work state. At least a third, some say as many as a half of employers looking to expand write off non-right-to-work states," Torr said.
Similar protests have been seen in Wisconsin recently, where lawmakers are also looking to modernize union bosses' collective bargaining privileges.
