The arabic word 'Islam' means 'Path to peace'

Is this correct? I read somewhere else that islam means "to submit".

"Islam" is Arabic for submission. And the only peace they have to offer is the peace of the grave ....

Answered my own question....

First, let’s start with the impression that the word “Islam” means “peace.” A little research quickly uncovers this is incorrect. The translated Arabic word ‘Islam’ means `submission' or ‘surrender’. The Arabic word ‘salaam’, a close linguistic cousin to the Hebrew ‘shalom” means peace

Religion of Peace
