I wonder what buddhists and hindus do in Germany. Its a common symbol in Buddhism and Hinduism: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika
Banning symbols is a silly thing to do, IMHO. The swastika was not the problem, it was what people did. Bans just make people believe they are doing something useful instead of actually working on the problem.
Guess we should switch to pd-ot...

The swastika is not only related to the Eastern tradition, very old swastikas were find in Europe too (paleolithic). In the esoteric tradition, is one of the more important symbols.
