What Scholarcs wanted to see: An human is Christian, or he could be Jewish, or Buddhist, or Muslim. In fact, there are more Muslims in the world than in Afghanistan. The only difference is that in the world they are free to worship as each of them chooses. A human is also free to believe in no religion. For that he will answer only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming to speak for the government and for God. A human is generous. Humans have helped out just about every other nation in the world in their time of need. When Afghanistan was overrun by the Soviet army 20 years ago, humans came with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their country. Humans welcome the best, the best products, the best books, the best music, the best food, the best athletes. But they also welcome the least. The national symbol of the world, The Statue of Liberty, welcomes your tired and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, the homeless, tempest tossed. These in fact are the people who built the world. Some of them were working in the Twin Towers the morning of September 11, earning a better life for their families. I've been told that thw World Trade Center victims were from at least 30 different countries, cultures, and first languages, including those that aided and abetted the terrorists. So you can try to kill a human if you must. Hitler did. So did General Tojo, and Stalin, and Mao Tse-Tung, and every bloodthirsty tyrant in the history of the world. But, in doing so you would just be killing yourself. Because humans are not a particular people from a particular place. They are the embodiment of human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that spirit, everywhere, is an human.

See now the article is untrue and doesn't work. Unfortunately it doesn't apply to all humanity. This especially "The only difference is that in the world they are free to worship as each of them chooses. "
