What does "Islam" mean?

In the Name of God the Merciful

The Arabic word "Islam" simply means "submission", and derives from a word meaning "peace" and a life focused on peace, mercy, and forgiveness. In a religious context it means complete submission to the will of God. "Allah" is the Arabic name for God, which was first used by Arab Muslims and Christians evangelized by the Prophet Mohammed in the 600's AD. Islam is a religion celebrated by more than one billion people. One fifth of the world's population from a vast range of cultures, nationalities, and races embrace Islam both as a religion and a way of life. In Turkey, approximately ninety-five percent of the citizens are Muslims.

Muslims must respect other religions and in no way harm any one who is practicing his/her religion peacefully, especially when it comes to Christianity and Judaism since these religions are from Allah too. In fact Islam always stresses the fact that Islam is nothing but the final reform of the previous messages. Unlike the recent image of Muslims; they are very hospitable and warm people.
