Probably just say Salam back.
Muslims don't tend to say it to non Muslims, at least where I live.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

With violence.
Just in case.

There is a store that I frequent that’s owned by a man from Yemen. I often greet him with Salaam Alaikum. He always gets a beaming smile and responds in kind. It’s a greeting that I heard from some of my Muslim friends overseas.
I believe in life before death.

I'd probably consider shaving my beard.

It's never happened to me.
I'd probably be caught by surprise and assume I misunderstood something again.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

I'd try to respond with "Wa'Alaikum aSalaam" or whatever it is and make an idiot of myself with my horrendous pronunciation.
The word bed actually looks like a bed.

Kinda funny - several posters here would try to respond in kind to a well-meant Arabic greeting, but get all fatoozed at 'Have a blessed day'.

It sounds to me like "so long", so I'd reply with "bye".
