Sorry to butt in, but in genuinely sounds like you are just LOOKING to be offended. The original secret was very clearly on an overlay of Hitler, so why the hell would you assume the OP meant ANYTHING other than the 45-degree Nazi swastika and what's more get so bent out of shape about it?

I was not looking to get offended, but I am offended about what the OP posted. Why? Because this is very personal to me.

Yes, the secret is an overlay of Hitler. Why would I assume the OP meant anything other than a 45-degree Nazi swastika? Well, it might be because of this statement right here: A swastika is not a fashion accessory. It is a symbol of hate.

That? Is a BLANKET statement. It does NOT differentiate between the Nazi swastika and the religious/sacred swastika. What that statement does is claim that ALL swastikas are of the pro-genocide nature when that is NOT true. I doubt the OP realized there were different forms of a swastika before posting their secret, and it's ignorance like that that makes me fearful of being able to practice my own culture freely.

THAT is why I'm so "bent out of shape". I've broken it down as much as I possibly could, so I hope you understand now. If you don't, sorry, I don't know how else to explain it.

I'm pretty sure by "swastika" they just meant the Nazi one. They probably weren't even thinking of the other ones. Yeah, maybe they should have specified, but they probably assumed the reader would know what they meant.
