2:190

Defensive war is permitted but do not transgress (Vol. 1: 272).

Literal meaning

2:191

Fight those who began hostilities such as attacking you and expelling you from your homes since oppression and cruelty (fitnah) is worse than war (Vol. 1: 272).

Specification

2:193

Fight till oppression (fitnah) ends and everyone is free to follow any religion. Human beings should not be so powerful that they intervene forcefully in the relationship humans may have with God. Hence the aim of the war is to make the world safe for the free practice of all religions (Vol. 1: 272).

Semantic expansion/ideological imperative
