Salam Aleykum

What does the word "Salam Aleykum" السلام عليكم means? 

Many people associate the meaning Salam Aleykum as an terror meaning. I noticed sometimes when I answer my cellphone with salam aleykum, I see how people freeze. Or when I see my friends and say saalaaaam aleykum, they jump up like they have seen a ghost... Well COME ON, It's a PHRASE that means Peace be upon you. I'll repeat Peace..Be..Upon..You... See it's not a terror word... It's an islamic greeting. 

Salam = Peace, Peace and still Peace

And for us MUSLIMS..... Did you know there are a couple of hadiths about islamic greeting... Well some people are ignoring it. This is something to all muslims, specially here in Sweden.. When YOU greet another muslim, You do it for ALLAHs sake. Even if you don't like the other person... YOU GREET... If  you guys can greet non-muslim you don't like with a fake smile and HIIIIII (with a high cheerleader tone), then you can greet another muslim with the same fake tone, for Allah's sake. (Allah = God)

"When a greeting is offered you, answer it with an even better greeting, or (at least) with its like. God keeps count of all things." [Surah an-Nur; 4: 86]

Actually this happened to me a few days ago: 

The following Hadit:. Umar (radiAllahu anhu) reports that he was riding with Abu Bakr (radiAllahu anhu) on one mount. When they passed by people, Abu Bakr (radiAllahu anhu) greeted them saying: 'Assalamu alaikum' and they replied: 'Wa alaikum assalam wa rahmatu Allah.' Or he may greet them saying: 'Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatu Allah,' for which their reply was: 'Wa alaikum assalam wa rahmatu Allah wa barakatuh.' Abu Bakr (radiAllahu anhu) commented: "Today, people have gained much more than us."   [Sahih al-Bukhari in Al-Adab Al-Mufrad]

So ya'll PEACE BE UPON YOU!
