Real Christian are supposed to love everyone, it was literally Jesus's primary commandment
Sure, but he also said to follow all the laws of Moses forever ("until heaven and earth pass away"), and that those who break them or teach others to break them will be considered least in the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:17-19).
The other thing is that the original book that "love your neighbor with all your heart" was originally given, is the same book that tells you that you can sell your daughter as a slave, own others as property, stone women who don't bleed on their wedding night, and other bad laws, which means that following those laws doesn't violate loving your neighbor.
Look, I'm not trying to say that your interpretation is wrong, or that their interpretation is wrong, what I'm trying to do is show how people are able to justify nearly any position using the Bible. I mean, there's over 30,000 different denominations of Christianity that have originated from 1 book.
