I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. GATEKP_090325_124.JPG: The philosophy of human rights is a spiritual product of the Judeo-Christian civilization and it is not repeated to any such extent in any other religious and/or cultural system. Europe would have never become what it is now without Christianity. The representatives of all the countries should not forget it. Slovak Episcopal Conference 2002
2. GATEKP_090325_132.JPG: The don't like kuruc.info Everyone else does web advertisement for www.kuruc.info
3. GATEKP_090325_155.JPG: Srda Trifkovic conference on Kosovo Bratislava 14 January 2008 Those who argue that they should be entitled to keep a land because they have a centuries-long historical bond to it, because their ancestors had built lovely Christian churches on it, because its heritage underpins their moral code and spirituality based on Christian martyrdom, and because they are defending themselves against an aggressive and resurgent Islam... to this new Western mind-set, anyone who makes those arguments is unconsciously arguing in favor of having that territory taken away.
4. GATEKP_090325_159.JPG: I'm afraid Europe still doesn't know Islam well. It must wake up, not to launch new crusades but to be aware of the new challenge... At stake is Europe itself, which cannot give up respect for liberty and the rights of the individual. And Bosnia, let this be clear, is in Europe. Vinko Cardinal Puljic 2002
5. GATEKP_090325_169.JPG: There can be no doubt that until it comes to an aggiornamento of Islam, the Islamic world cannot accept human rights as they are understood by Western philosophy, that is, human rights grounded in natural law and reason. Josip Sabol Glas koncila, 2005
6. GATEKP_090325_174.JPG: Today we are experiencing something totally unexpected: God is coming back. Everywhere in the world, religion is undergoing a renaissance, along with the revitalization of old traditions: in the Near East and the Far East, in America, in communist China, in Russia. Only Western Europe gives the impression that it is not paying attention to all this, or that all these movements are considered less important. Josip Sabol March 2008
7. GATEKP_090325_181.JPG: Islam represents for the West a great threat, just as communism did... To succeed against Islam means preserving European culture in Europe and America .... This success cannot be achieved unless we succeed in the fight against our own decadence, as represented in the demographic crisis, de- Christianization, and the loss of our self-respect. Are We at War with Islam? Vladimir Palko
8. GATEKP_090325_194.JPG: We are not possessed by hatred. That question should be posed first to the other side: whether it is acceptable for them to make friends with a Christian. Peter Gabura, April 2007
9. GATEKP_090325_198.JPG: civilized Europe ... with its traitorous brotherly hand, tightening a cord of Turkish silk around their necks in the hope that it will in this way finally strangle the Serbian Orthodox existence in Bosnia- Hercegovina. Metropolitan Amfilohije
Description of Subject Matter: The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars calls itself the living, national memorial to President Wilson established by Congress in 1968 and headquartered in Washington, D.C. It is a nonpartisan institution, supported by public and private funds, engaged in the study of national and world affairs. The Center establishes and maintains a lively, neutral forum for free and informed dialogue.

The mission of the Center is to commemorate the ideals and concerns of Woodrow Wilson by: providing a link between the world of ideas and the world of policy; and fostering research, study, discussion, and collaboration among a full spectrum of individuals concerned with policy and scholarship in national and world affairs.

Throughout the year, they present free lunchtime and other policy discussions. They are affiliated with the Smithsonian Institution but they are also independent. Their home page is at http://www.wilsoncenter.org/.
