We gonna tell buddists they can't use their symbol?  

Jason said it well, but you're comparing apples and oranges. We're talking about Buddhists and other cultures that used a very basic symbol long before the Nazis did. Buddhists also do not use the symbol to "honor the history" of the Nazis.

The continued use of the Confederate flag, however, is something very different. The flag itself was uniquely designed for a treasonous group that group the law and attacked our country. It is still honored by those states that committed said treason. The only history behind it is one of dishonor and a desire to continue an immoral practice.

I hope that in 150 years, people aren't painting the ISIS flag on their flying pick up trucks...
