• Advocates trying to push back against this characterization sometimes emphasize that “Islam means peace,” since the two words are derived from the same Arabic root.
• Indeed, the traditional Muslim greeting “al-salamu alaykum” means “peace be upon you.” Some Americans were already familiar with the phrase, thanks to an unexpected source: hip-hop culture, which often incorporated the Arabic phrase.
• This is but one example of Islam’s deep intertwining with the threads of hip-hop culture.

More than ‘hello’

• It points to the spiritual peace of submitting to God – and not only in this life.
• Saying “peace be upon you” is a prayer that God will grant heaven to the person with whom you are speaking.
• Many Muslims believe that “salam” is also the greeting heard upon entering heaven.

‘Peace to all my shorties’

• Other hip-hop artists have used “al-salamu alaykum” in many different ways, including lyrics that show broader familiarity with the laws of Islam.
• “Tell the pigs I say Asalamu alaikum,” Lil Wayne says in “Tapout,” a song that has little else to do with Islam.
• Finally, many rappers, particularly those who are Muslim, use the greeting in a more straightforward manner.

Shared identity

• Yet, throughout the song the rappers speak about violence and drug trade, painting a conflicting picture of innocence versus guilt.
• Some young Muslims in Europe, for example, use hip-hop as a key way to assert their sense of belonging in societies.
• In hip-hop, “al-salamu alaykum” is not treated as though it were part of a foreign culture.
