I’ve seen Hindu temples with the swasthiks (that is how I have heard it pronouced) all over them. Even inside a six pointed star like the star of david, or the other way around. Have to admit, its always horizontal and vertical and not rotated at 45 degrees.

Both the six pointed star and the swasthik are sacred symbols for Hindus and probably Buddhists too. Search on google for “Sri Yantra” and “SRI SWASTIK YANTRA”, you’ll get the idea.

Say, Godwin’s Law doesn’t apply here, right?

That’s bullshit. It’s stupid removing it, and I am saying this as an jewish (atheist) person.

I’m currently living in Taiwan which is prominently Buddhist / Taoist. The swastika is indeed used as a symbol of Buddism, however the arms rotate the opposite direction to the ‘nazi’ swastika. They use it a lot on temples, religious statues, etc. I’ve even seen it used as a logo on kids clothes. Vegetarian restaurants often hang a lantern with a swastika painted on it outside. Temples are usually marked on maps by a swastika. While I know what it means, it can sometimes still be a little hard to adjust, particularly when I see little kids running around with it on their t-shirts

Denver becomes alot more political inside. Take a look at the thread on that forum, but it’s mostly conspiricy speculation based on some of the stuff inside of the building.

“There are hints of a future use as a containment camp. There are signs of potential future uses such as a vast fenced in area connected to the airport with nothing in it, but the barbed wire is pointing in as if to keep people inside. There are murals depicting dead children and burning skyscrapers and a nazi.”

But hey, why do all the Architects have to be Nazis?

As a sun god worshipper, I find it offensive that you want to remove my god’s symbol from all public places. Aren’t the majority of Catholic churches in the shape of a cross?!?
I’m kidding, of course. And seriously, aren’t we getting just a bit too politically correct now… come on, the airport?!?

At the risk of making this the Megaswastica post, here is the Denver Airport:
Placemark: Google Maps / Google Earth
I guess it is also an economical design in terms of airport opperations… provided you have unlimited supply of land.
