Thank you! I’d agree with you, except...

“Peace” in Arabic doesn’t necessarily mean the same thing as “Peace” in English. When we were in the Cold War, “Peace” in the Soviet’s mouths meant “lack of resistance to socialism (communism).” To a Moslem, “Peace” means “Submission to Allah.” I am kinda keen on resistance to both Socialism and Allah, myself.

In any case, it may simply be that your employee is simply not a very good Moslem (which is a GOOD thing...)!

More for me to study. This is something that I absolutely dont’ want to get wrong! Thanks for the thought about the definition of “peace” - it is not something I had considered.

Were all Muslims in possession of his high character the world would be much less troubled.
