Oh I forgot: Refute what?

That the word Islam means really salam? This is a joke. Your total ignorance of the arabic language is just amazing. Let me repeat it one more time:

1. islam means surrender to Allah.

2. Salam means peace and the word salam has nothing to do with the word islam except they both come from the same root SLM but they belong to different stems and in the Arabic language this is where it all ends.

Example here the root KFR has a stem where we have the word kafir or infidel and we also have the word Kafr or village but you will agree with me that a kafir is not a village! Right our dear Angela?

DO you see what happens when you pontificate about a language that you do not know? And no, your bogus claim about Islam brings peace and therefore Islam means peace or whatever is not even worth debating

3. Jihad means holy war and Ijtihad means strive to improve one-self

.4. Mujahid means holy warrior and mujtahid means he who strive to improve himself

I find it really sad that a person like you is not critical enough of the tendentious Muslim sources.
