What do you say after the you say the name of Prophet Muhammad?

I don't say anything because I am not a Muslim. Muslims say "peace be upon him". I have heard anti-Muslims say much ruder things, but I find this unnecessarily insulting. After mentioning the name the holy Prophets the Muslims say, e.g.: Hazrat Abraham (AS- Alai-his-salam or May peace be upon him) After the name of Hazrat Muhammad the Muslims say Sallal la ho alai wasallam or may say the May peace be upon him. The Muslims must respect all the holy Prophets (May peace be upon them all). It is obligatory on them.

Jewish viewAs a greeting, we say "Shalom Alechem" when we meet people such as friends and fellow Jews. This does mean Peace be upon you. But we don't use it in reference to prophets, as Muslims do. They say "Mohammad (PBUH)" which means Peace be upon him or Praise be upon him. Muslim viewMuslims greet each other by saying "assalmu aleikom" that means peace upon you or they simply say "salam" that means peace. Jews say "Shalom Alechem" that means also peace upon you or they simply say "shalom" that means also peace. So, both Muslims and Jews say same words but in Arabic and Hebrew; respectively.
