    Assalam Valekum

    By Will 2 years ago, mid-October Leave a comment on this post

    The single most popular search term for people arriving here from Google is Shahid Afridi. It astounds me how one person can prove so popular to so many. I'm deluged with comments, usually starting with "Dear Afridi" but today's spam (and I'm sorry if I consider them spam) reads as follows:

    dear afridi,
    first of all “Assalam Valekum” “Adaab” to you.
    i am a girl.i …. you a lot and i will continue to ….
    you forever.you look so so so handsome that i am crazy about you.you are my king,my hero !!!do not mind for what i have said.but its true that i …….

    Can anyone enlighten me as to the meaning of Assalam Valekum and Adaab?

    As-Salam Alaykum - Arabic greeting, means “Peace be upon you.” The rejoinder is usually “Wa-Alaykum As-Salam” - peace be upon you too.

    Adaab - usually “adaab arz hai” - urdu - means Hello. adaab in Arabic means etiquette.

    you’re getting all this traffic because of posting that 45 ball afridi century..
    that is just really bad English not spam.. it would have been spam if the poster had been trying to promote some web site or links etc OR had posted this to a thread that had nothing to do with afridi..
