You mean the word islam?

Reader comment on item: "Islam" Does Not Mean "Peace"
in response to reader comment: YOU STILL HAVEN'T TOLD WHAT ELSE ISLAM DOES 'NOT' MEAN.

We have established so far that the word islam only means surrender (to Allah) and that is it. The word islam does not mean salam (peace) or istislam (surrender in the secular sense) or istilam (receiving) and yes all four words belong to the same root SLM but each belongs to a different stem.

As for our dear damsel who ain't no damsel is an example of islamic deceit
