Akab6 ::: Favorites Yes the swastika was originally, and still is a sign of peace and understanding in Buddhism which has been used for centuries before the Nazi regime and Hitler. Hitler merely took the swastika and 'deviated' it by tilting it so it appears diagonally. 07-09-05 10:09:43 _____________________________________________________

Kensei1986 ::: Favorites If they see it in a good context, they are right in not caring for what others think. You do not feel that way about the Catholic cross, althought they were as cruel and evil as the nazis in the Middle Age. Respect their religion as you would like that others respect your religion. 07-08-12 12:48:27 _____________________________________________________
