I understand why he might be confused about this, but as a Muslim, I can't fully explain what the Bible implies. However, in Islam, we are taught to hate the sin, not the sinner. For instance,They are talking about deeds; not people. You are supposed to hate their deeds. You know christcucks are too far gone when a muzzie has to explain what their holy book is saying.

the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, 'Whoever loves for the sake of Allah, hates for the sake of Allah, gives for the sake of Allah, and withholds for the sake of Allah, then he has attained complete faith.' [Abu Dawud].
For the sake of Allah means purely for Him, without personal desires or stubbornness. Because it’s hard to act purely for Allah, achieving this is considered the completion of faith.
There are exceptions of people whe shoudl hate personally, like the devil or Pharaoh, who are beyond redemption. For current wrongdoers, we hate their actions, not their being. They might change and repent.
Imam Munawi explains, 'You hate the people of evil for His (Allah’s) sake, not because of the harm they do to you.' (Munawi, Tayseer bi-sharh al-Jami al-Saghir).
In summary, we do not hate any individual for their own sake, but only hate the evil in them. If they embody that evil, we 'hate them' insofar as they manifest that evil. This is what is meant by 'hating a sinner.'
