Quote:You may also fight them to eliminate oppression, and to worship GOD freely.
is very different from
Quote:"And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah
Both means the same , you could find that if you would research . There is a conjunction between the phrases (fight them to eliminate oppression "and" to worship GOD freely) .
The word used here to describe "and" conjuction is "و" . Its not a simple "and" as like in English . It means "due to" or "thus" or "thereby" .
So Allah describes persecution and oppression as an obstance for his religion . He say fight until they have run out of this attitude and so the religion/system will be only for Allah/God .
