Can anyone translate this? I know that As-Salaam-Alaikum means "peace go with you" or something along those lines.

After a bit of googling, I found:

Scroll down to 11,

"Wa 'Alaikum Salaam, And on you be peace!"

I know (from watching "East is East") that "Salaam Alaikum" appears to be a respectful greeting in Islam (certainly one of the junior characters kept saying it to the 'dad')

Whoa, I wasn't expecting anybody to actually help. Thanks a lot.

If you ever wanted to hear "Salaam Alaikum" in a rap song, get Remember His Name by Jurassic 5. UNH SO GOOD.

I heard it in the First School Gil Scott-Heron song "Peace Go With You Brother" and wondered what it meant.
