Answer 4

The swastika is a very old (thousands of years) religious symbol, and can, for instance be seen all over India. Hitler borrowed it as the symbol of the Nazi party. That doesn't invalidate its historic use by Buddhists and others.

PS 'The Christians stole Christmas'? What on earth does Garwy mean?

Answer 5

Swastika is thousands years old and can be found on many temples in Asia. It was also found in ancient European, African and Native American cultures; sometimes as a geometrical motif and sometimes as a religious symbol. It has long been widely used in major world religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.
Of course, it have nothing to do with Nazism. It was a symbol of good luck and well-being.

Answer 6

Swastika is originally an ancient sun god symbol with 4 radiating arms. Blessings like health, peace and proserity were intended.

Nazi version has arms rotate in opposite direction to invoke curses like death, destruction and chaos. Hitler and his SS henchmen were heavily into 'dark' forms of magic.
