While many declare Islam to be a religion of peace, it is also true that the Prophet Muhammad fought some battles. How can this fact be reconciled with the idea of peace? Would it not have been more appropriate for the Prophet to avoid any battle? What were the battles for, if not for the dominance of Islam? This video discusses why the Prophet Muhammad chose to involve himself in battles instead of distancing himself and his followers from them. It also clarifies what sort of battles are considered akin to "just wars" in Islamic theology.
