Gua Salah Lu Mai Kong.

It's seriously no problem, in fact, i'll be very impressed if you do that, but i usually stick with Hi tho.

Some of them don't really have non muslims that do that or just unaware that it's actually an arabic word that everybody can use

just an arabic language..Msian radicals make it as if its a 'holy' word

u're doing things right

in malaysia, everything is retarded

Assalamualaikum mean peace be upon to you
and wa'alaikummussalam mean peace be upon to you too ..
so why not?? it just malaysian short minded?

Most foreign Muslims expect a reply when they greet you with the pthrase, but most Malaysian Muslims will look aghast if you reply.

im okay, u can greet me with that..

For learned Muslims, this phrase is very connected with Islam. They are taught the proper etiquette regarding the salām, and among them are rules regarding non-muslims:
1) One should not initiate the salām towards non-muslims, and
2) If greeted with salām from non-muslims, the answer should be "wa alaykum" (and upon you too).
Among the reasons I learned is: because as-Salām is one of the names of God Almighty, you shall not invoke his holy name upon a non-believer.

maybe Iranian is shiite and not sunni, they take these greetings less seriously.

this
not wrong for u to answer
just that the muslim,is advised not to greet u with salam first

and if u give salam,the answe shud be like above

bottom line,u not guilty

Its okay, its just language. Arabic ^^

those people around you are shocked with your ability to speak in arab. LOL!!!

its okay. those stare weird at you maybe lack of knowledge about islam

Meleis are higher class muslims than the arabs... hence the WTF you got everytime you answer salam...

phail

we can see how universal their God's love is based on the universal comments here. memang winrar in every sense of the word..

i mean how wishing peace to someone can be divided into grades

You dont know us... We meleis are holier breed of muslims you know...

There is only two rules :

1 ) Muslim cannot bagi salam to non muslim

2 ) Muslim must reply if the non muslim give salam first

Not many here in /k/ are learned since most of their statement show how shallow their knowledge of Islam and they don't even realise that.

being liberal for the sake of attention.
