Just wondering, Im a non muslim and why im treated differently when i replied to their greetings
When i was greeted by iranians (or arabs) with this and i replied back waleikum-salam. There seem to be no problem
However, sometimes when i replied waleikum-salam, malays or malaysian muslims give me certain stares like WTF? U playing with that word?
Seriously, my question is it illegal to do so?
There is nothing wrong. It just that maybe the muslim who give u bad looks when u reply the greeting didn't know the true meanings of the greeting itself.When i was greeted by iranians (or arabs) with this and i replied back waleikum-salam. There seem to be no problem

Assalamualaikum = Peace be with you
Wa'alaikumsalam = And unto you peace
See? actually the above greeting is not only special for Muslim. Its applicable to all nations or religions. It just that its in different language.
