Was Muhammad (pbuh) a man of war?

Some people claim that Muhammad (peace be upon him) was a man-slaughterer who loved war. Some other people claim that he (peace be upon him) did not have anything to do with wars. The balanced and the correct view is that he (peace be upon him) was just with every single human being. He never wished for war or to harm other people. He was a man with a peaceful message from God. But when it was necessary to defend Islam and Muslims and it was a just cause, he was the best man to lead his people to success. Listen to Shaykh Khalid Yasin elaborate the matter:

Noen hevder at Muhammed (fred være med ham) var en menneskeslakter som elsket krig. Noen andre hevder at han (fred være med ham) ikke har noe å gjøre med krig i det hele tatt. Det balanserte og korrekte syn er at han (fred være med ham) var rettferdig med hvert enkelt menneske. Han ønsket aldri krig eller å skade andre mennesker. Han var en mann med et fredelig budskap fra Gud. Men når det var nødvendig å forsvare islam og muslimer, og det var en rettferdig sak, var han den beste mannen til å lede sitt folk til suksess. Lytt til Shaykh Khalid Yasin utdype saken:
