LOL of course it can.

It's ASSALAMU-ALIKUM, which means 'peace be upon you'. 'Salam Walaikum' is a wrong way of saying and even ludicrous. Coz, by Salam Walaikum you're cursing yourself. That ain't good! Pronunce the Islamic greetings thoroughly or you're putting yourself in Trouble. Salam Walaikum ( wrong pronunciation). ASSALAMU-ALIKUM ( correct pronunciation). Hope you understand!
