re: #1358 J.S.

What is “not in doubt”? As I understand your argument, you’re suggesting that the root word for “peace” in Arabic (s-l-m) bears no relationship to “submission” or “surrender” (Muslim/Islam). Is that correct? Isn’t that what you’re arguing?

(I believe that “Islam” means “submission to G-d” — and that this is also physically manifested in their 5 daily prayers…called “Salat.”)

Not what I’m arguing at all. But to recap the whole thing when I’m pretty sure I made myself plain would apparently be wasted effort.
