"The swastika (from Sanskrit hahaha2360;hahaha2381;hahaha2357;hahaha2360;hahaha 2381;hahaha2340;hahaha2367;hahaha2325; svastika) is an equilateral cross with its arms bent at right angles in either left-facing (hahaha21325;) or right-facing (hahaha21328;) direction. The swastika is a holy symbol in Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism. In the West, it is most widely known and used as a symbol of Nazism. It is traditionally oriented so that a main line is horizontal, though it is occasionally rotated at forty-five degrees. The Hindu version is often decorated with a dot in each quadrant."
Now, is it?
