(linguistics)


Shalom Aleichem
A greeting commonly spoken throughout the Jewish community. It translates as "Peace be upon you".

Asalamualaikum
A greeting commonly spoken in the Arab world and throughout Moslem communities. It translates as "May peace of Allah be with you".

Despite striking similarities, certain vocal groups of minorities do enjoy making gory battles out of personal issues. I am not saying matters of belief are unimportant, but one should not hurt another for not being in the same boat. Please be reasonable and compassionate.

Take care and treat others as you would yourself. Cheers! ^__^
