Thing is most of those symbols were used prior to Nazi influence to portray
unity and peace.  If a new facist group came up using an international "no"
symbol.  Would it be wrong to ever see it again?  No, that symbol has ben
around for ages and simply becuase a group decides to interpret it in thier
view, being for a cuase of good or bad, doesn't make the symbol itself a
negative idea. It's the intended purpose of the originators that determine
this.
