The meanings of verse 2:190 of the Noble Quran:

Verse 2:190 is talking about Allah allows fighting against those who initiate fight

The Historical events before revelation of the of the verse  

After the Prophet Muhammad and the Muslims were prevented from visiting the Holy House in Mecca,

The arrogant disbelievers of Mecca prevented them from visiting the Holy House.

Muhammad made a pact with the disbelievers that he would be allowed to return the following year, at which time they would vacate Mecca for three days.

Having prepared to depart for the Visitation, he and the believers were concerned that disbelievers would not keep to the agreement and instigate fighting.

The Muslims were averse to becoming engaged in fighting while in a state of pilgrimage inviolability in the Sacred Enclosure [Holy House in Mecca] and during the sacred months in which the Arabs traditionally prevent fighting,

And so the verse was revealed:

And fight in the way of God, to elevate His religion, with those who fight against you, the disbelievers,

Fight in the way of Allah, in obedience of Allah whether in the Sacred Precinct or in other places, against those who fight against you, against those who initiate fight against you,

But do not aggress against them by initiating the fighting;

Allah does not love the aggressors, the ones that overstep the bounds which God has set for them.

Allah does not love those who initiate fighting whether in the Sacred Precinct or in other locations.
