I think Br. Abu Tamim hit the nail on the head. I remember reading some excerpts from Ma'ariful Quran on this issue e.g. 3 levels of friendship. InshaAllah I will try to find them and post them here for the benefit of the SF members.

However, one thing was clear through what I read - the ones who are bent on fighting the muslims, the hatred for them has to be apparent. Perhaps this is what the learned commentators meant when explaining the Tahawiyyah. Hating their disbelief is not sufficient in this case.

“O you who believe! Take not My enemies and your enemies (i.e. disbelievers and polytheists) as friends, showing affection towards them, while they have disbelieved in what has come to you of the truth” [al-Mumtahinah 60:1]

“Indeed there has been an excellent example for you in Ibraaheem (Abraham) and those with him, when they said to their people: ‘Verily, we are free from you and whatever you worship besides Allaah, we have rejected you, and there has started between us and you, hostility and hatred for ever until you believe in Allaah Alone’” [al-Mumtahinah 60:4]

Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly. Allah only forbids you from those who fight you because of religion and expel you from your homes and aid in your expulsion - [forbids] that you make allies of them. And whoever makes allies of them, then it is those who are the wrongdoers. [al-Mumtahinah 60:8-9]
