Link didn't go anywhere. If its not a swastika than it shouldn't be removed. I thought the Nazi's borrowed it from the Byzantine empire. The Byzantine's could've easily borrowed it from the Japanese though. My knowledge of Japanese symbols is limited to a little bit of katakana and a titch of hirogana.

If it is a different symbol though, then this is probably PC overreacting. If your offended by something that "looks" like a swastika, then you might be looking too hard.
