Is not Jesus here warning against excluding the ones to whom we would in our fallen natures make exception? To love the unlovely, to carry the gospel to a people groups, to less those who curse us, this is the duty of His church, against which the very gates of Hell shall not prevail.
Yes, at a personal level; love your personal enemies by praying for their good. There is still an obligation to be a good soldier to preserve your neighbors' lives.

Yes. My remarks concerned the attitude the Christian church should maintain towards Muslims and others who are willing to peaceably attend services. Not at all denying the right to legitimate self defence by the individual or a nation state against violent enemies, whether individual or organized.
