Swastik

[I/ZG52_HaDeS]

Both biased and irrelevant post Bobb4 because it is from "The Holocaust/Genocide Project of iEARN"

so its focused at the Nazi-Jewish "holocaust" point of view, irrelevant for my culture and what this "swastika" symbol symbolizes, which it is not even "swastika" for us Hellenes but "Τετράγαμμα" or "Γαμμάδιον" (Pronounced in English like "Tetragama" - "Gamadion".) and these signs even decorated God Athina's (Athens) beautiful dress and Athina is "Still" the protector of Athens, the city i live. Moreover it has nothing to do with the Indian or Persian culture as it existed many millenia before these civilizations emerge.
The Christians took Poseidon's Trident and made it a Devil's weapon of wrath, they also stole Pan's Goat-like legs and they gave them to Devil.
So are these ancient symbols of my culture suppose to be "evil" or anything like this? Of course not. If you use the fork to kill someone then its not the "fork" that is "evil" but you. Should we "forbid" the use of the forks? No.
Simple logic, Aristotelian logic i would say.
I simply don't care if the "Τετραγαμα-Γαμμάδιον" (swastika for you) is allowed in Germany or Austria and i don't care what kind of meaning some people gave to it. I care about its use/meaning to my culture, and nobody can "demonize" it to my mind. And not only this symbol but any other symbol used by my ancestors.

All the best!
