A comprehensive reading of the bible, keeping in mind all the injunctions on who you can kill and why, suggests that "thy neighbor," specifically refers to people that share the precise same subset of traits that the christian god finds acceptable, and that the hidden corollary of "love thy neighbor" is that everyone else is to be conquered or slaughtered in keeping with the execution orders in the rest of the book.
