Hi!
here is`a small part of a map of Nara in Japan,
You can see the Swastika symbol clearly.
It was also used on the war flag of the lord Tsugaru Nobuhiro
1586-1631
but you can see the symbol is reversed...
Also about the Japanese symbol..
A folk dance troupe from Tokushima Prefecture modifed the designs of their kimono's to eliminate the Buddhist swastika when they performed their dance in Germany as part of the World Cup soccer festivities.
The Buddhist swastika was the family emblem of the feudal lord who ruled the area that includes Tokushima.
I also heard that Children light lamps that are laid out in the shape of Swastika, on the eve of Diwali. This is on the eve of Hindu new year, a major Hindu festival.
Off to look for Penguins now....!

I think a temple is marked with a small Torii gate symbol!

Lol yes, but he asked why the Penguin was used, not what are they doing.
I think the wallpaper is a play on different things.
Thai have a high Budhist pop I think?
Plus the Heil came from Heil Ceasar.
It's just that Hitler made the Swastika symbol and the Heil bad things.
We should look at the positive side.
So when you see a swastika next time, think of Buddha and next someone Heil's, think of the Roman Empire

some more swastika

the swastika raises usually more attention and "anger, hate", like the red star, which is the symbol of communism, which system wasnt any better like the third reich and red star is even on heineken. systems loves to use icons, but if a system isnt really welcome in history, the icons is letaly wrong interpretated...
ps: history is always written by the winners...

like all people if you have direct links with something your always going to oppose such things.
in these countries where it is a traditional symbol i tihnk its fine.
but being jewish stuff like this in the uk wud upset me, knowing my own family were killed etc and it just fuels srereotypes, which arnt true.
but good to see everyone heres very respectful and intelligent.

why would it upset you. England didn't have anything to do with Germany...
I mean, you are saying that people can't have swastikas just because you're Jewish? EVEN if they don't mean it in the Hitler sense?
I mean, it's not anybody's place to decide who and who can't use a symbol.... If I perceived the cross to be a bad symbol, could I ask people to stop using it?
