Yes, of course. It's deeply offensive. But you'll forgive me please for not wanting to get into that swastika/backwards swastika discussion again <groan>.

swastika backwards.........? I am sure very few (I would hope) here need me to elucidate the swastika and its many variations in buddhism hinduism (and yes i know hinduism is a sweeping umbrella, and should not be used as a homogenous term) bon , jain, and numerous western traditions including numerous prehistoric cultures. cheers MM
