Islam, Salam, and “Shalom”, All Mean: Peace!

Islam, Salam, and “Shalom”, All Mean: Peace!

The very term Islam means peace as well as submission to God Almighty. In order to understand the true Message of Islam and its peaceful Co-existence with other religions, one should concentrate on the authentic sources of the Islamic teachings i.e. The Holy Qur’an itself, and the life and the practices of the Holy Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H.) during his own time, before the Islamic rule was hijacked by some extremist fundamentalist, opportunistic Khalifahs, Sultans, Pashas, immediately after the death of the Holy Prophet, up to the last Ottoman Caliph in Turkey, in 1923. The extremist Taliban, Wahhabis, Salafis, Boko Haram, and ISIS using the name of Islam, have killed more Muslim men, women, and children (in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Somalia, Nigeria, and Yemen), than non-Muslims. And that shows how much of Islamic faith they have, and how un-Islamic they have become!
