why won't people accept that hitler stole the swastika and there is nothing wrogn with the original?

That's a very good point. The swastika was originally a (Native American?) sign of peace. Then that asshole Hitler had to go and fuck things up for everybody else.

Primarily because it was popular to do so at the time.  Hitler believed in a conspiracy theory that said the Jews wanted to take over the world.   Hitler wrote (well he dictated it and it was heavily edited) called Mein Kampf - My Struggle in English, that does shed some light on his anti-Semitism (hating of the Jewish people)  I've included some resources below that may help you in your research. \n\n(I am not Jewish, but in an effort to be unbiased I must disclose that I do have Jewish relatives. The links I provided I have found personally useful and I find their coverage of the Holocaust to almost universally accepted.  There are however small groups which feel that the Holocaust never happened.  You will have to draw your own conclusions.  I was not alive then but the historical records and primary source material I have consulted have convinced me of the horrible reality of the Holocaust or Shoah.)

That is not a question that anyone can answer now. We do not live in that time era, nor do we know what their thoughts were or the people that sold them to the white people. All we can do is speculate which is wrong because we have no clue as to what was said, done, or accomplished by what means at the time. We only know by 3rd and 4th hand word if not more and even second hand word isn't allowed in a court of law.\nWhat bothers me is that there is still so much hatred. I don't even see that among the Jews and the Germans and look at what Hitler and the Nazi's did to the Jews. They actually live together in the same area without all this hatred that continues between the blacks and whites. What was done to the black people was wrong just like what was done to the Jews was wrong, but continuing to hate either blacks or whites accomplishes two things - more hatred and more prejudice.

what they don't understand is that it's their truth not yours and not mine.\n\nsome people can only see their own version of things.  it doesn't matter that there were other truths long before theirs.\nmost will not accept that you or i or anyone else has a right to believe what we want.

Excellent question.  People seem to be more quick to point out the flaws in others beliefs than acknowledge their own.\n\nStalin WAS athiest.  To claim otherwise is ridiculous.  How can the head of what was an officially athiest state (and it was despite what others posted) be theist?\nAlthough Hitler was born Catholic, his beliefs were definately not Christian (ie: Christ was Aryan and fought the Jews; Aryan's evolved from Adam and Eve, and everyone else evolved naturally, etc...).  He may not have been athiest, but he certainly wasn't Christian.  Jadwiga Biskupska, who wrote "Hitler & Triumph of the Will: A Nazi Religion in the Catholic Style" in Undergraduate Quarterly, September/November 2004, even states: "...he ridicules the teachings of Church fathers and the practice of the Catholic faith... he detested the doctrines, of the Roman Church... Institutionalized religion, in Hitler's view, was a waning phenomenon...".

Because nothing can justify the holocaust. Many also believe that if something so horrid is justifiable then those who still believe in hard right politics (fascists) will rise again and take over and begin another holocaust/World War.\n\nAlso every country in Europe lost a lot of civilians, military, money, etc. due to the war. There is no reason why any country should allow themselves the humility of justifying the holocaust.

I don't think that would be a good idea.  You may not care about the "Racist Thing" but many people will.  Anything to do with Nazi Germany and the Third Reich is not a good thing to have permanently inked on your body.

Hitler life is notable for his notoriusness. Many muslims adore hitler because they hate jews and existance of isreal.

why holocaust is not a legend? there isn't any approved evidence about it. so we shouldn't approve its a legend who believe in it should approve it's true. but in my idea I think Hitler was a mad man and he might do any stupid crime but not as many people as they say. I can't believe these statistics and also it's very strange why some countries pay a lot of attention to Holocaust and governments which always state that there is democracy in their country and everybody can say what he want send to jail who deny and talk against it. It's very doubtful.

Because a very small Fraction of an Insane Faction that make the vast majority of peaceful Muslims look Bad in the Eyes of those of Us that don't understand.Remember, Hitler was Supposed to be a fine, upstanding Christian who could Quote the Bible. Could You imagine all Christians being judged by His conduct? It's the same thing with Osama, and Saddam!They don't represent the vast Muslim Majority.

hitler rose to pwer when he failed drawing shiot in vienna - that was in the roaring 20's but not roring in Germany because they lost the war. he got so mad about that those orther germans listened to him, and then he burned down that parlamant building and called a state of emergency and there was nothing looking back from ther\n\ntoo bad his only talent was making people hate jews and gays and communicsts. if he was a good artist prolly a lot of people would hav survivd. funny how that shiot works out.

History is currently being distorted by the millions of Christians who lie to have us believe that the Holocaust was not a Christian deed.  Through subterfuge and concealment, many of today’s Church leaders and faithful Christians have camouflaged the Christianity of Adolf Hitler and have attempted to mark him an atheist, a pagan cult worshipper, or a false Christian in order to place his misdeeds on those with out Jesus.  However, from the earliest formation of the Nazi party and throughout the period of conquest and growth, Hitler expressed his Christian support to the German citizenry and soldiers. Those who would make Hitler an atheist should turn their eyes to history books before they address their pews and chat rooms.\n\n    Considering that Christianity has thus far been incapable of producing an unbiased, educated follower which speaks the truth, (I haven’t encountered any), I have been forced to dispel the myth by writing this essay.  It is not until I bring up his speeches, my personal info on the Nazi regime and their tactics that a Christian will begin to question what their clergy told them. (I am the offspring of a German soldier.  My Opa served under Hitler in WW2 and my father was raised during the time of the Nazi regime.  This is important information to take into consideration for I am privy to some info that most Americans do not know.  It is common for American media and education institutions to lie to their citizens concerning Nazi Germany.)  So, in presenting this information I must break it into four parts: 1) Facts about Hitler and his involvement with the Church.  2) How the Church was the catalyst for anti- Semitism.  3) Facts concerning how the Nazi regime drilled these beliefs into Germanic society.  4) Quotes Hitler made which prove he had a disdain for atheism/occultism, upheld his Christian faith, and hated Jews due to his Christianity.\n\nHitler’s involvement with the Church:\n\na) Hitler was baptized as Roman Catholic during infancy in Austria.\n\nb) As Hitler approached boyhood he attended a monastery school.  (On his way to school young Adolf daily observed a stone arch which was carved with the monastery’s coat of arms bearing a swastika.)\n\nc) Hitler was a communicant and an altar boy in the Catholic Church.\n\nd) As a young man he was confirmed as a “soldier of Christ.”  His most ardent goal at the time was to become a priest.  Hitler writes of his love for the church and clergy: “I had excellent opportunity to intoxicate myself with the solemn splendor of the brilliant church festivals.  As was only natural, the abbot seemed to me, as the village priest had once seemed to my father, the highest and most desirable ideal.”  -Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)\n\ne) Hitler was NEVER excommunicated nor condemned by his church.  Matter of fact the Church felt he was JUST and “avenging for God” in attacking the Jews for they deemed the Semites the killers of Jesus.\n\nf) Hitler, Franco and Mussolini were given VETO power over whom the pope could appoint as a bishop in Germany, Spain and Italy.  In turn they surtaxed the Catholics and gave the money to the Vatican.  Hitler wrote a speech in which he talks about this alliance, this is an excerpt: “The fact that the Vatican is concluding a treaty with the new Germany means the acknowledgement of the National Socialist state by the Catholic Church.  This treaty shows the whole world clearly and unequivocally that the assertion that National Socialism [Nazism] is hostile to religion is a lie.”  Adolf Hitler, 22 July 1933, writing to the Nazi Party\n\ng) Hitler worked CLOSELY with Pope Pius in converting Germanic society and supporting the church.  The Church absorbed Nazi ideals and preached them as part of their sermons in turn Hitler placed Catholic teachings in public education.  This photo depicts Hitler with Archbishop Cesare Orsenigo, the papal nuncio in Berlin.  It was taken On April 20, 1939, when Orsenigo celebrated Hitle

The swastika is one of the oldest.

Sure, it could be argued that censoring it lends it an appearance of legitimacy, but I think any risks of people taking it more seriously because it is recognized and censored do not outweigh the necessity of taking into account the pain and offense that some people might feel at the prospect of these ideas.  Holocaust denial, for example, is a spit in the face - to put it mildly - to millions of Jews and other peoples who suffered at the hands of the Nazis.  Denying them the right to their history is unfair, and only expounds a problem that has already been exacerbated.\n\nNazism, on the other hand, is arguably a valid concern.  Though I doubt facism would ever rise to the same level it peaked at in the thirties and forties, it is still a legitimate political ideology, and it goes by many names, one of which is Nazism or Neo-Nazism.  To allow people to run rampant with such ideas is another affront at the history of atrocities committed in the name of such facism, and ought to be prevented.\n\nThe issue of freedom of expression - which does not exist in Germany to the extent that it does here in the US - should not be misused so as to condone such behaviours and ideas.  I think the US is even too lax in this department, allowing such groups as the KKK to voice their sentiments.  There is a limit to where freedom of expression impedes upon another person's ability to experience civil freedom, and that's unallowable.  This could shoot off into a related debate, concerning where to draw the line and why, but point being, I do think it ought to be censored.  Ideas such as these should not be condoned by "civilized" humanity.

people trivialize Hitler's crimes all the time, mainly because many people don't care about his crimes anymore, and people don't know anytthing about his victims. you have freaking PETA comparing slaughterhouses to the Death Camps, you have geniuses on here comparing Gauntanamo Bay to Concentration Camps, and you have Libs comparing Bush to Hitler. they're the unbeleivably ignorant comments of the smug and underinformed. thanks for informing us. rock on!

Hitler was NOT a Christian.  There are many who claim to be yet know nothing of the Love of Jesus.

There have been hundreds, thousands of caricatures about god, jesus and the pope.  Do you see christians jumping around waving banners about killing people and going to war over it?  Do we go around burning the flag of the nation this drawing originally was printed in?\n\nYou want disgusting, look at the way these people reacted over a DRAWING for goodness sakes.  Not saying it was right to print the drawing but come on get abit of bloody perspective.  Human freedom of belief?  What about the artists human rights?  I would say that the reaction to the cartoon did more to damage my views of the islamic community then the picture would ever of done.
