Terrible. Why would anyone be offended by such an innocent Hindu symbol? I mean it's just an innocent Hindu symbol, isn't it? It doesn't have any other meaning, does it? No. It's just a Hindu symbol. Why get offended by a swastika? All those European countries that have banned the swastika need to be told to grow up and accept that it is just a peaceful Hindu symbol and nothing more. I mean, look at the Canadians. They even have a town named Swastika. Many people would find that disasteful and wonder why the Canucks haven't done the right thing and changed the town's name, but those people are mad. I mean, it's just a Hindu symbol. Grow up!

I know. Those idiots will be calling for pictures of Mohammed to be banned next. All those Muslim PC idiots who get mad at pictures of Mohammed are just keeping the hate alive.

I mean, why wouldn't a victim of the Holocaust want to live in Swastika, Ontario? PC gone mad, is what I say. The swastika is just a Hindu symbol, isn't it? Why get offended by it?

Symbols, symbols, symbols go CLANG when you bang them together. Kinda like the metalic ringing between the ears of those who get all pissy about symbols. Nobody has asked Hindus to remove the swastika from their religious art or the Celtic cross from British Christian churches.

Symbols on flags don't. Most flags aren't metallic, so they can't go clang.

The Synod of Whitby in 664 - in which King Oswiu of Northumbria stated that the evil Catholic Church (Church of Rome) would take precedence over the earlier Celtic Church in his kingdom - did.

Later, the Church of England Protestants rightly removed Catholic crucifixes and other Catholic symbols (such as Virgin Mary) from their churches because such symbols are idolatrous and sinful.

I'm surprised you didn't try to correct my spelling. Symbols don't make any sounds, but cymbals do, kinda like your keyboard when you type out nonsense.

That's just what I said.

Of course, I said that whilst correcting you.

And why do numpties here keep talking about Hindu symbology? When this Nova Scotia newspaper printed a picture of a Swastika did it really do it in a peaceful way to invoke Lakshmi, the Vedic goddess of wealth, prosperity and auspiciousness (as some numpties on here try to insult my intelligence by insisting that that's so), or did print it as a symbol of Nazism, antisemitism, hatred, violence, death, and murder?

I know the usual suspects on here - who try to act clever, when we know they're not - are trying to portray it as the former, but there are people on here (i.e me) who aren't too braindead to realise it's actually the latter.
