A greeting in Muslim countries (6)

I believe the answer is:

salaam

(Other definitions for salaam that I've seen before include "Oriental greeting or homage" , "Muslim greeting signifying peace" , "Peaceful greeting" , "Oriental greeting with bow of obeisance" , "An Oriental salute or bow" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
