If the type 9 has faith in a God big enough to be their loving connection with infinite internal peace, then the type 9 can have courage in a necessary confrontation with those who reject external peace.
If the type 9 only believes in a God who can put peace in their heart if other people are also at peace outside of themselves, then the temptation is to "go along to get along," or just shut up rather than being honest about injustice since speaking up would disturb the peace... except that there is no peace to disturb.
Does this then justify the concept of the so called 'just war'? For e.g., the Allied resistance to the marauding Axis forces during World War II or the dropping of nuclear bombs on Japanese cities to elicit surrender (again during World War II).
