This is true, and the OP has considerately chosen a salutation quite 
acceptable to all believers, not just Muslims. However, this forum has 
its quota of unbelievers, who don't want belief intruded here. An 
atheist would likewise be within his rights to start a message with "In 
the name of Nothing, the Non-existent, the idol of the superstitious and 
the gullible."


It seems to me better to just leave one's belief or unbelief out of 
these messages as off-topic and provocative of flame wars.
