But DON`T HATE THEM. Don´t call them scum and say they deserve an eternity of torment. Because they have not chosen their beliefs. Just like you, they are simply a victim of their surroundings, and their political, cultural and religious beliefs are too.

I'm sorry, but loving those who hate our Lord would be in direct conflict with scripture.
Psalm 139:21-22 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
It also states that we should righteously judge the unsaved, put difference between the holy and the unholy, and wash our feet in the blood of the wicked.
Leviticus 10:10 And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;
1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1 Corinthians 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
Psalm 58:10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
