Interesting!
Tel me something... did you really use to say "Salam to my muslim brothers and adab to non-muslims" when you used to enter a room or a group of people in Bangladesh? Are you sure? I must say thats a pretty uncommon style of greeting and have not heard anything like that in my whole life living in Bangladesh yet. Which BD are you actually talking about?
AFAIK... people in Bangladesh don't really distinguish between muslims and non muslims at the beginning of their conversation. Or have I missed something on that?
Anyway.. enjoy your stay.. dont worry if most people out here find your distinct way of greeting to be a bit uncommon.
