And when those who believe in Our communications come to you, say: Peace be on you, your Lord has ordained mercy on Himself, (so) that if any one of you does evil in ignorance, then turns after that and acts aright, then He is Forgiving, Merciful.

Again "Salaam" is a Muslim term that even most non-Muslim's of the subcontinent prefer.Its easy on the tongue with a simple greeting of "peace".
