Note (An important one): I am not discussing if Facism/Racism/Nazism is not evil anymore. I am discussing about the religious symbol that has been used for thousands of years.
The Swastika was used as a symbol of peace, unity and is the main symbol of Jainism, Hinduism and is an important part of many other religions. The word Swastika is based off the Sanskrit word Svastika, loosely meaning 'self-existing'. It was part of many old cultures. However, when the Nazi party adopted it, it became a universal (Apart from quite a bit of Asia) symbol of hate. It has been quite a while since the end of the Nazi party, though, and many religions still use the symbol, so should it be accepted into society as a symbol of peace and unity again?
