Because your God has the power of forgiveness and has an understanding of your enemies wrongs. In this position he can only forgive and encourage - Jesus and the Tax collector

When I was a little girl, my younger sister would do things that I didn't like. I'd get really mad, especially as I sometimes got blamed for them. I know, though, that my parents loved BOTH of us, no matter how bad we were being.
In the same way, I believe that God cares for all of his children. I doubt very seriously that he's happy with a lot of the stuff that goes on, but I doubt even more that he stops loving ANY of us because of it.

Exodus 14:14 says 'The Lord shall fight for you and you shall hold your peace.'
A lot of people think that Christianity is a crutch but any mug can want to get even with someone who has wronged them. Most Hollywood movies are about this sort of attitude. It takes a lot more courage to forgive. Satan loves a bitter heart.
I am not saying it is easy, in fact, I believe you need God's help to do this.
The Bible has heaps of references (especially the Psalms) to God squashing our enemies.
Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
At the judgement seat, God's enemies (those who have not, in this life, done as it says in Romans 10:9) will be thrown into the lake of fire for all eternity.
We are all sinners (a white lie or killing thousands of people in a terrorist attack are both sin and punishable by death).
We should really be praying that Osama and co. realise themselves to be sinners and call upon the Lord to be saved.

God is fair and just. He loves people especially those who repented for their sins...
People who submitted their lives and evertthing in them, their aspirations, dreams, desires, material positions and everything.
However, god is giving chance for people to change no matter how bad they maybe. And if it so happen that He did love the people that we hate.........
Well, there must be a reason for it all. After all, we may not possess the bad things about our enemies, but they deserved to be given a second chance by Him.... But if they failed the test, the second chance given to them,,,,, they won't reach the point of passing the door to eternity......
Instead the best thing for us to do is to focus to our life, what have we done with our life. Did we make a difference in someones life? Did we help someone in need?
It's a matter of what you did with your life, and not question God's love for your enemies . There must be a reason behind it....

Loving a god is like loving a person, you have to take a chance, although there is a probability they won't love you back, it's all a matter of chance. And as for enemies, I believe in keeping my friends close and my enemies closer.

Well maybe when you truly love God, he can teach you that maybe your enemies aren't what you think they are after all, after all a human is a human, and therefore imperfect, and when you put your love and faith in God, he will help you to see the truth and the light

God loves all people because he believes that there is redemption in all human beings .......... we mortals are conditioned to love "good" people and reject what some would refer to as "bad" people, it takes a special level of understanding to see the good in people that have deeply hurt or even killed others but this is what it takes if we are to be Christ-like or Christian.

Just out of curiosity, what's wrong with Communists? Did you time-travel here from the 50's or something?

You are forgetting that these other people are people, and also a creation of god. You don't hate the people, you hate what they do, their ideas and actions. These people are the follows of Satan, and that is who you have to hate. He vowed to turn all people against God, and by you saying this, you are about to become a follow of Satan. Do not let Satan get ahold of you by fueling you with hate.

Because God created me and loves me, even though I may not always love God like I should.
