renunciation and nirvana[citation needed]. Most Rahuls mainly belongs to the Hindu and Christian communities. [emphasis added] Some
Dictionaries also suggest the meaning of Rahul as someone who is "Able" or "Efficient". Rahul in Sankrit means "Efficient"

You can make whatever assumptions you want. An intelligent person would research it for themselves instead of making the assumption that I must be a
muslim terrorist or terrorist sympathizer because I have a foreign sounding name. Your unfounded and ignorant statement demonstrates the general
xenophobic worldview of neoconservatives (neofacists in truth.)

When you said that you think the government should do whatever it takes to prevent terrorism, including potentially torturing American citizens.
I abeginning to think you are a terrorist sympathizer. Ya see, I feel I will never be accused of being a terrorist for I live a inice simple
life. It seems that you have a deep down fear of being labeled a terrorists, and potentially tortured someday. What do you do in your spare time
that makes you feel this way?
I fear an unchecked government as any American should. I fear that without the rule of law, without the protections of the constitution, the
government will oppress
We the People. I fear that people will be labelled a terrorist and tortured simply for dissenting against the illegal
and unconstitutional police state measures that America has been taking. If all you care about is being safe from terrorists, fine.
I care
about freedom, and preserving the American way of life.
What do I do in my spare time? I sing in a choir. I play the guitar. I go to the gym. I occasionally go on a few dates with a pretty girl. I take
my dog for walks. I go to Ron Paul meetups to inform people about my views and try to affect political change.
What do you do besides cowering in fear of the next attack?
