Yes I agree that both are necessary as implied in the OP.
However, I stated therein,
'Peace' is Islam
does not refer
primarily to peace as in general harmony between people.
While both type of peace are essential, i.e. internal and external, the primary concern with Islam as reflected in the Quran is the internal Peace of Mind.
This is why SOME Muslims are willing* to sacrifice external social harmony for their own internal peace of Mind.
* This is due to an internal compulsion and guided by the heavy % evil laden verses of
various degrees in the Quran.
