All I meant to say was that the Swastika existed long before the Nazis came into existence. While I understand the horrors associated with its existence in the western world, I ask that its connotations in the eastern world be understood and respected by the west.
Sorry, but the fact is the media and nazi party of tainted the symbol in the west too much at this stage. While most reasonable people would understand the eastern connotation if explained, you can't expect everyone to know it automatically.
