lynspotter, I saw the website whose address you gave.
Of course we see there that the swastica has been only a logo or symbol throughout history. But this is like in Pavlov's experiments with dogs. You associate this symbol with what some people did in its name. The geometrical shape is as innocent as any other shape.
It's like DIRTY WORDS. What makes a word dirty? After all it's a succession of sounds uttered or written by someone. If you don't know the language, you won't be offended by it. What makes it dirty is the INTENTION, THE ASSOCIATIONS, THE HISTORY of the word.
