I could be wrong here, but I believe the Nazi swastika faces rightward, whereas the Buddhist/Hindu symbol faces left.[bpuk]jack wrote:
passed a hindu mosque or whatever theyre called near where il live and it had a swastika on a flag on top .. i know its supposed to be the hindu simple for peace but still after what its been used as a symbol of hatred and tyranny for a nazi police state I think they should not use it in public as it does cause offence.
its not a church...cyborg_ninja-117 wrote:

I know where you're coming from but Germanic Celtic is a bit of an oxymoron.ATG wrote:
Its actually of Germainic celtic origins.
Celts= Gaul (France), Britania and Ireland.
Germans=Germany
It was a symbol of peace for quite a few religions including american native tribes which no one mentioned yet, kinda ironic it was used for war since most religions used the symbol for peace.
Perhaps it's time to properly asses what it was for, "for most of history" (and by history I mean thousands of years before 1933), and that is a peace symbol from a basic geometry.
It would be like a tribe of 40 ppl from central asia banning the holy cross from the world cos it was used by someone to kill a family. kinda
