"Minority" Protection Likely to Defeat EU Swastika ban

We read:

"Hindus in Europe have joined forces against a German proposal to ban the display of the swastika across the European Union, a Hindu leader said. Ramesh Kallidai of the Hindu Forum of Britain said the swastika had been a symbol of peace for thousands of years before the Nazis adopted it. He said a ban on the symbol would discriminate against Hindus....

The group said banning the swastika was equivalent to banning the cross simply because the Ku Klux Klan had used burning crosses.

The Indian symbol is most usually the mirror image of the German one but they do use it both ways

My previous comment on the above matter was on 16th.
