The Italian and Spanish languages have many similarities. The numbers, for example, are almost the same in both languages because they came from the same root. Similarly the Arabic language has a lot in common with Hebrew because they are both Semitic languages. So when a Muslim says Salaam we naturally think of the Hebrew Shalom as having the same meaning. But while Salaam is translated as “peace” it doesn’t carry the same thought to a Muslim. Muslims believe that they will only have peace when all enemies of Allah are dead and the World under submission to Islam. Above all they want to destroy Israel and take over all of Israel for Allah. That would be true Salaam to them.
