Al-Baqarah 191

وَاقْتُلُوهُمْ حَيْثُ ثَقِفْتُمُوهُمْ وَاَخْرِجُوهُمْ مِنْ حَيْثُ اَخْرَجُوكُمْ وَالْفِتْنَةُ اَشَدُّ مِنَ الْقَتْلِۚ وَلَا تُقَاتِلُوهُمْ عِنْدَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ حَتّٰى يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ ف۪يهِۚ فَاِنْ قَاتَلُوكُمْ فَاقْتُلُوهُمْۜ كَذٰلِكَ جَزَٓاءُ الْكَافِر۪ينَ ۝١٩١

191Kill those who fight you wherever you catch them. Drive them out from where they drove you out. Oppression and persecution aimed at faith are a greater wrong than killing. Do not fight them near the Masjid al-Haram unless they fight you there. But if they fight you, fight them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.
