Form of salutation in Muslim countries (6)

I believe the answer is:

salaam

(Other definitions for salaam that I've seen before include "Oriental greeting like low bow" , "Muslim greeting signifying peace" , "Arabic salutation" , "Oriental bow and salutation" , "An Oriental salute or bow" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
