Foxy,
As the Swastika of the Nazis is exactly the same as the Swastika of ancient and modern religious usage how are those who would ban to tell them apart?
Or do they propose to ride rough shod over others’ cultural heritage?
Do you agree that it should be banned?

I have already provided the link to
the ancient symbol of the swastika on
page 5 of this discussion but here it is
again for those who missed it:

YES I believe the Nazi symbol should be banned!

The following link explains further:

Quoting from the link:

"In the cultures where it's been used for centuries in
religious practices or in the decorative arts the
question of banning it is unnecessary. The symbol doesn't
carry any negative connotations there."

"In our Western society, the swastika is tainted. The
Nazi movement's violent crimes against humanity gave
the symbol a meaning that can't be concealed or
erased. It's hate-filled racist intentions are clear.
It wasn't an innocent symbol for the Nazis, nor is it for
latter-day neo Nazis and white supremacists."

So you think that minorities in Australia should be banned from shewing symbols of their cultural heritage.
I disagree and see such a notion as racist and divisive.

Foxy's opened a can of worms on this one.
I'm going to need some time to decide if they should be banned and have their properties confiscated, etc,
i.e. - the proposed outcome of what you're suggesting.
