So...the OP was saying be kind to everyone based on the parable of the good samaritan, interpreting EVERYONE as our neighbors. I was pointing out that is not true. I said nothing about the groups you mentioned. We should love our enemies, but love does not always equal lovey dovey. You might respect your enemys humanity and treat them in a way that reflects that, whatever the circumstance.
