The swastika is originally and still mainly a Hindu and Buddhist symbol. Who protested against that ?

Well, somebody told the mayor (a Christian Democrat) apparently, and now he's going to have it rebuilt.
The architect also argues that Hindu's and even the ancient Greeks (I don't know if that's true) used the symbol.. Here's the news article in Dutch if you can read that.

Regardless of its original meaning, the swastika in western civilization has come to have very negative and unpleasant connotations and any architect outside of Asia would be well advised not to use it in their designs.

The topic of this thread is misleading, but apparently the IT doof who titled the original article came up with the title, not Wang.
