"Salam" means peace.
"Islam" is deduced from "Salam", but it means basically submission (to God and his law). Modern muslims focus on the deduction from "Salam" (or peace) due to the accusations of terrorism posed to Islam, but the old understanding of the word "Islam" is submission.
but, on the other hand, there is a saying of the prophet Mohammed relating Islam to peace and describing Muslim as a person who don't hurt people with his tongue or his hand.
So, you can say that the word Islam means submission and means also "making peace"
By the way, you can say that all the terrorism is forbidden in Islam. Although I was Muslim I haven't known yet what what makes many fundamentalist Muslims supporting terrorism, but this maybe because I was raised in a Sufism atmosphere which is a culture based on sublimation and peace, so even if I read a Jihadist text I used not to understand it literally.
