Thats the partial quote from Chapter 9 verse 29.
Heres the full verse..
9:29Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Apostle, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

Perhaps something was lost in translation but the entire verse isn't any different than the shortened version. It's just tacking on a longer list of things to fight against and saying "keep at it until they are all under our rule".
The definition of "Jizya" as
I've seen it being a tax of sorts on those non-muslims living under islamic rule. The purpose of which was to demonstrate that even if a person wasn't a muslim in the faith, they were subdued under islam and thus agreeable to it.
